between my crooked teeth
difficulty sticks in strings.
i wince against the rattle
of my chest
but i hold the moment
by the fistful -
despite inexperience,
despite primitive implements,
i flash those teeth
and say “hello.”

Let’s get one thing clear: innerpartysystem have always been too smart for the scene, from the Orwellian origin of their name to critiques on current culture so enlightened I could write a thesis on the various conversations we had during tour. Even more amusing is the “scene” they tended to f... Comment - Like

I’m working to slowly rid this site of outdated links, former friends and things I generally have lost interest in. This means I need better things to put in their place – I’m always looking, but, as always, drop me an email and/or a comment if you’d like me to check something out. I need th... Comment - Like

Turn on: Two ugly little ill-colored pills. 20mg. I’ve officially flipped the switch in my subconscious at the end of the day, when the shadows become reality, when a liquid projection screen is draped across my stomach, the quilt a child would use to hide beneath becomes the thing I hate. I turn_... Comment - Like

40+ submissions. 1 acceptance. A year later, it’s in a national publication. The Great American Poetry Show. I hold the hard-backed book built on such hope now, in my hands. Would fate be so funny as to send it to me now, nearly 6 months to the day of my last post? Surely not. Even my muse rattles... Comment - Like

It’s been a minute since I’ve posted on G&D. It pains me, it is my child. That being said I’ll get straight to the point:
I’m going on vacation. I can’t devote the proper amount of attention to this site, MOD or my writing right now. As most of you know I’ve been in a writing slump for ... Comment - Like

The reversal technique is one of the more under utilized in trying to break away from writers block, likely because often you’re faced with a jibberish of words when you’re done. The art is simple, is there a poem or narrative you can’t quite bring to that break out level, is the language stay... Comment - Like

Much like twin poems can help you when you’re in a slump, looking at a piece of work in a different light can help you as well. Lately I’ve taken to yet another age old teaching: the art of the cut and paste.
Basically in a cut and paste you do just that: you take your printed poem, cut each li... Comment - Like

As you know I’ve dedicated a lot of blog space Kill Hannah. They are survivors, musicians and friends. While everyone I know is suffering this year, it doesn’t make it any easier to sit by and watch them hurt.

The Practice of Poetry :: A great resource for overcoming writers block.
As you know I’ve been going through a bleak depression/writers block. To counteract this I’ve went back to one of the earliest writing techniques I learned in high school: the art of the twin poem.
