The In-Appropriated Press in Review (& more)

 CLICK HERE FOR a nice review of the In-Appropriated Press on the zine review site Broken Pencil. Unfortunately they conflated William Repass' poem with Aaron Andrews' report on an Air Mattress Armada outing, but we can't blame them too much considering the chaotic layout.

In other mOnocle-Lash news:

• 1.) More delays getting out Synapse contributor copies, thanks to USPS woes from (intentional-thanks deJouy) mismanagement, have patience...
• 2.) I'm about 6 weeks behind on answering emails, 4-5 months behind on postal correspondence/trades. It'll happen eventually.
• 3.) Nearly all activity's been stopped for a month as I deal with the end-of-semester workload in the job that pays; editing will recommence on forthcoming titles (by J. D. Nelson, Irène Hillel-Erlanger, Alan Reed, Rachilde, and Olchar Lindsann) and new journal issues (Rêvenance, The In-Appropriated Press, Synapse, & Cupcake Train) by mid-June.

ARTHUR DIES, Chronicle I, Vol. 4 Now Available!

 IT'S ARRIVED! – Volume 4 of ARTHUR DIES has now been released on Luna Bisonte. This series is the main lifelong crucible for my poetic and mystical life. As much Blake as Monmouth. If one's going to read only one thing by me, this project is the closest to my heart (along with the long-ago 'Ecstatic Nerve').

 

   

This is the longest volume yet, and over two years in the writing. It includes a Vispo-Flipbook chapter, concrete palimpsest-poems that survived the burning of Vortigern's Tow'r, a prose chapter written like a straightforward historical fiction novel, hermetic-mythopoeic maps, and other avantrickeries.

Narratively, insofar as you can read the narrative, it's also the first volume which has a somewhat happy ending, with the fascist police state toppled (though of course any happy ending is temporary in an epic named after its hero's death). Lots and lots of battles. Arthur's birth is still off on the horizon of the next volume, but you finally meet Merlin – wearing a plague mask.
