“Ode to a New Black BallPoint Pen,” by Eric Robert Nolan

Leave a comment

Black liquid silk, bleed out
from onyx talon-tip:

Like spilled obsidian liquor
indelibly defacing lace,
like a gleaming needle leaves
glissading sable scars of curling script,
let slip the sliding
black racer snakes to trace the page.

“Some lose all mind and become soul, insane …”

Some lose all mind and become soul, insane.
some lose all soul and become mind, intellectual.
some lose both and become accepted.

― Charles Bukowski

So dudes, I am published in six countries now.

Leave a comment

Given the state of our country, I feel certain that means I’ll wind up on some sort of watch list.

Update: I SWEAR to you something just started beeping and I don’t know what it is.

Update 2: Nah, it’s totally cool. It’s this little Altec speaker I got for Christmas. Not sure why it beeps, though.

BUK THE SYSTEM!

Leave a comment

Now’s the time to order your copy of Buk 100: My Old Man, A Birthday Greeting.  Click right here for Newington Blue Press’ limited edition chapbook.  Only 100 copies will be printed in this initial run, which celebrates what would have been Charles Bukowski’s 100th birthday.

When you read it, be sure take a gander at two poems of mine: “First Smoke” and “Guerrilla Poet.”  (The latter piece is an homage to my good friend and colleague in the writing world, poet Dennis Villelmi.)

I hope you guys are looking forward to a great weekend!  No matter what you’ve got planned, remember Buk’s advice — “what matters most is how well you walk through the fire.”
