A tiny “Tarzan” treatise.

More cool stuff from Robert Hansen and Poems-For-All — this is actually a 40-page essay entitled “Tarzan: the First 100 Years,” complete with vintage illustrations.  The mini-book was authored by David Lemmo and Rachael Wenban, and is based on their full-length book of the same name.

What you see below is the same size as a matchbook, people.  It’s amazing what you can do with that modest amount of space.

It’s also fun stuff. I just learned that Edgar Rice Burroughs’ iconic character is considered the first “superhero” of the 20th Century when he originally appeared in 1912.  (And that makes sense, if you think about it.)  These mini-books can easily fit in your pocket — you can carry them and read them anywhere.

Now I’m disguised for voting a sixth time.

But do I employ a British accent or not!?!? DAMMIT, SOROS SHOULD HAVE TRAINED ME BETTER FOR THIS.

Chime in, people, and do hurry; I have a hybrid bus full of illegal caravan refugees who want to vote too. And the bus is blocking a church entrance.

(I’m so punny.)

So Trump is reportedly headed to California during the catastrophic wildfires?

I’m pretty sure that’s just adding fool to the fire.

A few future publications …

Hey, gang.  The holidays and the new year are nearly upon us, and I just wanted to give you a rundown of some publications of my writing that will appear between now and the spring.

The Bees Are Dead is scheduled to publish my poem “school shooter” sometime this month.

Down in the Dirt magazine has selected my poem, “hens staring upward,” for publication in its March/April 2019 issue. The issue will be released on April 1, and will be available both in print and online.

The Piker Press will feature five submissions of my writing in the coming months.  My time-machine horror story, “Shine Now, Fiercely, Forever,” will appear at the weekly online literary magazine on December 10th.

Four poems of mine will also be featured by the Piker Press next year: “This Windy Morning” (January 14th), “Roanoke Summer Midnight” (February 18th), “Confession” (April 8th) and “My Mother’s Apartment” (May 6th).

I hope you are all as eager as I am for a festive season.  Have fun, stay safe and be well.
