So I realize I haven't done shit in months. Well. Life kind of got in the way with things like mono, grad school, oral surgery, and cat cancer. Anyway. I have a new chapbook coming out soon and a more traditional zine and two cooking zines. I'm reading at an event called Blacker than Blago at the Gacy Hole in Pilsen this coming Saturday (see also: February 13th) and I'm tabling at Chicago Zine Fest in March.
Are you excited? I'm excited.

A new project located on a new site.
Hey everybody. So I have a new project thing going. It's got some audience participation to it and it can be found here: http://frequentlyamandaquestions.blogspot.com/
Here's the explanation behind it:
Okay. So this is a piece I’ve been working on since October 2008. It’s set up like the F.A.Q section of a website only it’s a mix of the personal essay, the lyric essay, prose poetry, and various other types of experimental nonfiction. A few sections from this were expanded on in If Only We Could Be As Civil As A War.
Anyway, this is where YOU, faithful reader and supporter of the literary arts, come in. For a five dollar donation you, 1. can help keep a roof over my head, 2. help this project eventually have a real website built by someone who isn’t a jackass with minimal HTML skills working within Blogger templates, complete with it’s very own domain name, and 3. can influence the directions in which this piece goes.
How do you influence this piece with your donation? It’s kind of like buying a brick when a school builds a new gymnasium. As the whole piece is centered on frequently asked questions, you get to submit a one sentence long question/essay prompt. Maybe you want more of what I’m afraid of or what I’m thinking about or fuck, maybe even what makes me happy, just so long as the question you ask is something that can be answered in essay/prose poem form not Formspring form. I will use every prompt I receive and if it’s something awkwardly worded or something, I’ll communicate with you on it. And once it gets a real website, I’ll have a page of contributors or benefactors or what ever you’d like to call yourself.
So how you buy this prompt is as follows: you click the little donate button on the side of the site and donate five dollars. You then email your name and prompt to ae.tee87@gmail.com. I will have your prompt written, posted, and indexed within three weeks.
And if you don’t really want to donate but still like think it’s cool and stuff, feel free to click on a couple of the ads and check back frequently.
I would also like to add that once I am employed and a website is taken care of, any continuing donations that exceed hosting fees will be split between a fund to print a book after a couple of years and a group of revolving charities including Plea for Peace and the Icarus Project.
