Poetry

Building on the success of Lummox #1 &amp; #2, Lummox #3 introduces the reader to yet another slice of small press/underground poetry in the early part of the 21st century. In this volume, aside from the usual 170 or so poets represented, and the usual brilliant essay writing, interviews with John Macker, Grace Cavaleiri, Doug Holder, Rick Smith and Daniel McGinn; this issue also features poetry by John Sweet, William Taylor Jr. and Christina Foskey...winners of the first Lummox Poetry Prize! Sweet wins top honors, plus a cash prize and 50 copies of a chapbook, entitled The Century of Dreaming Monsters. Taylor and Foskey win a special book prize (from the Lummox Press catalog) plus a featurette in this issue. Rounding out this issue are reviews of the new Anais Nin memoir, What the Wind Says, Songs of the Glue Machines and the Editor attempts short blurb-reviews of a number of books that have "crossed my desk in the past year or so". 216 pages of poetic wonderfulness...that's what the reader can expect!

Lummox #3: A Poetry Anthology

This is the second volume of poetry written in the last 15 years by RD Armstrong. This volume covers the years 1999 to 2007.

Fire And Rain Vol. 2: Selected Poems 1993-2007

United States

This is the first published collection of short stories by RD Armstrong aka Raindog. Known mostly as a poet and publisher, RD has been writing short stories for about ten years. These stories are not for the faint of heart, as they deal with the seamy side of life and are written in a style that is reminiscent of "film noir" and pulp fiction (especially the title story). If you are a fan Charles Bukowski's stories, then you'll find that El Pagano and Other Twisted Tales is a must read.

El Pagano And Other Twisted Tales

Short Stories & Anthologies

This book contains three long poems about three road trips made in 1999, 2000, and 2001. They are part travelogue, part historical (describing meetings with other poets such as Todd Moore and A.D. Winans) and part personal musings on the nature of things. The first poem describes a trip to San Francisco to meet a number of small press poets. The second is about a trip across the desert to meet Todd Moore in Albuquerque NM and how it becomes a spiritual quest as I relive a previous trip through the same country. The last poem details a 1300 mile journey to Seattle that was undertaken just before 9/11/2001 and it describes the experience of being so far away from home during this national crisis.
