Poem inspired by David Lynch's 'Lost Highway'

[(Wordy)]

My poem 'Forkhead' (based on David Lynch's Lost Highway) is in the latest online edition of Manchester-based literary mag Sein und Werden. This issue's theme is 'cinematique'.

You can read the poem here.

Full index of the issue here, featuring short stories, chapters of novels, poems, images, essays, reviews, etc - all based on films and filmmakers.

Impressive. I've been feeling the pull of multiple identities recently, and was able to connect on a personal level to that.

you publish in Sein? i just sent them a story. they're pretty chill. for some reason i feel like you've had work appear in otoliths, am i correct? are you in their "southern summer" issue?

Thanks for the feedback & humbling love.

leiphos: Yeah I've had work in a couple of issues of otoliths - #9 and the 'southern summer' edition. Mark Young (the editor) seems to appreciate some of my more experimental stuff, and I dig the other stuff he publishes. Have you had stuff in there?

I've had two poems in Sein - this one, plus a poem based on a Stan Brakhage short in the latest print edition.

I hope your story gets accepted. I like your stuff.

your two pieces in the southern summer issue are awesome! or are they all one piece...? i really like "faulty" a lot.

ya, i contributed a more visual poem tho.

your blog is very interesting and seems nicely trafficked. i wrote a comment for the mohammed quote you posted. incidentally, i saw him do a reading the other day with the usual flarf folks and a few conceptualist writers (think christian bok, goldsmith, et al). it was... interesting? goldsmith read from "the weather" lol : /

Hey, I really like 'are you the wind?' Great stuff.

Thanks for the comments on my blog. There's some genuine discussion beginning to brew on there, which is great to see.

So were you at this reading? I watched some excerpts from it the other day! Think I followed a link from Silliman's blog.

 

[leiphos]

yup. that's the one. nada's blog covered it nicely. interesting, tho, that she cut out the second half of goldsmith's introduction. he got a bit extreme, tbh, in terms of the whole "my school of poetry is better than your school" bit.

silliman's blog? i have him linked on mine, actually. i admit, he's a guilty pleasure, heh.

thanks, btw.

and i'll definitely continue stopping by your blog. i linked you already and such.
