coming soonish!

Mr. Lally over at Pig Ear Press has for some reason lost his senses and agreed to put out a chapbook with three of my short stories.

the title? thanks for asking. I'm thinking of going with things are affecting me exactly the way they should.

you're right, that is awesome.

Literary Mary Journal Too

this was originally intended to be a print journal, but as is the case with many small press endeavors, it fell upon hard times. still, Jenifer Wills stuck with it and put it all together and posted it on issu.com.

I have four poems in it. it's 99 pages long, so even if you don't like my writing, you might find something that strikes your fancy. give it a look:

kids! wash your hands and set the table! the Stew's ready!

Oh, Mr. Lally. Strange, strange Mr. Lally... at it again. Whatever shall we do with him? I know, buy his magazine!

Yes, that's right, it's time for volume 3 of Alligator Stew. This Stew is just as tasty as the previous ones, perhaps more so. Just have a look at one of its new and improved ingredients:

That's a Carol Es drawing, like I had to tell you. Carol also has a poem in the mag. Who else? Well here's a look at the contents page:

Yes, I am that Stephen Hines, why else would I plug this shit this fine magazine? Here's my drawing from the mag:

You'll have to buy the mag to see my poem, which you can find out how to do so here.

Anyway, all kidding aside, Pete has produced another fine looking publication with a bunch of talented writers and artists (present company excluded) and it would make a fine addition to your library....right beside your signed first edition of The Hunger Games.

Buy it you cheap prick. If you can afford a signed first edition of The Hunger Games, you can afford this. Stop being a prick, it's unbecoming.

Support the small press before it supports you!   Yeah, I don't know what that means either. I've never been good at sloganeering.

'via Blog this'

something made me think of this today...

here's an old one (16 years old? I think?) that I haven't posted here. something someone said today made me think of it. I'm like Proust! or something...

anyway.

somehow it's about me
(for bukowski)

I didn't know
you were dead not even
that you were sick I just
found out recently almost 2
years I missed not that it
matters much since dead
is dead no
matter when it happens.
but if I had found out
right away I
would probably be over
it by now but this is
probably not the 
appropriate
time to be thinking
of me.
