"To tell you the truth, I'm pretty burned out
on meat poetry or street poetry or poetry of
the down-and-out, whatever you want to call
it, because so much of it is bullshit; either bogus
motherfuckers who never shed blood but
insinuate themselves into the lives of those
who have and then make a name for themselves
by writing generic imitations, or a bunch of
middle-class kids still living at home talking
tough, aping Bukowski, Wantling, levy, Micheline...
but HAPPY HOUR is the real thing. Stark precision.
It's stripped down, bare bones authentic.
You be the real McCoy, amigo..."
-John Bennett

DRINKING & THINKING
FROM BLUE PRESS,
SANTA CRUZ, CA. 2010
"For a while, now, outside of
what you/ve been doing
outside Klamath Falls and what
Todd Moore was doing outside
Albuquerque, not much
integrity married to the inside
dope of the poetic imagination
as far as my jaded view
has been concerned."
-Michael C. Ford

-GERALD NICOSIA



TASTE THE
From If Year Books,

fugitive pieces, some
handwritten, some paste-
ups, all laid in like a scrapbook
miscellany with mean teeth."
-Kevin Opstedal, Ukulele Feedback

fucking around."

WHY?

because Hank 3 saved country music
because Oklahoma is not OK
because Opstedal saved Nortena surf poesy
because Milwaukee's Best is the worst
because Jesus saved Blue Chip Stamps
because no check is in the mail so I'll come in your mouth
because I saved this last dance for you
because Elvis was never ever the king
because you didn't save that stinking snatch for me
because nothing could ever be the same again
because you can't save me from drowning in a sea of liquor
because I don't remember reading I Remember
because I won't save anything except the bones
because Will Smith is not really an actor
because not even God would save this country now
because who really gives a fuck if you're going to die anyway
because you didn't save the instructions to your defibrillator
because Robert M. Petersen wrote: "many-peopled desolations"
because why save anything now
because no one ever told me there was a war going on
because I never have saved the best for last
