This is:
"...a catalog of textual desire, of wished-for and ideal books as described by a diverse collection of writers, critics, and text-makers. The maligned blurb form herein becomes, time and again, the entryway into unreadable books and the anticipation that comes before opening them."
You can preorder this here.

Dennis Cooper aggregated a bunch of GHOST MACHINE web content over at his blog. You can check it out here.

Dennis also listed GHOST MACHINE as one of his favorite books of poetry of 2010. You can see that here as well as his 2010 fiction list and music list (which I especially love).

Thanks, Dennis.

1.) SUPERMACHINE is going to publish a new chapbook I wrote called VORTEXTS in 2011. Also they are going to publish a chapbook by Genya Turovskaya called DEAR JENNY, which is going to be rad. 


2.) SUPERMACHINE has also started a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for its various 2011 projects and readings. If you donate $30 you get: 


"a one year subscription (2 issues) and signed copies of the first two SUPERMACHINE chapbooks planned for 2011: Ben Mirov's VORTEXTS and Genya Turovskaya's DEAR JENNY."


Thanks, SUPERMACHINE.

My friend B.C. Edwards wrote a review of GHOST MACHINE in this month's issue of The Brooklyn Rail. You can read it HERE. There is also a RAD REVIEW by Blake Butler on Eugene Marten's Firework which I was fortunate enough to edit and recommend reading.
