Week 27: Investigates Escape Velocity

Relax. Don't do it. When you wanna go to it.

You, oh hungry masses, we wouldn't forget you.

We roll out this week with poems from Mike Grau in two sets. The first from his Unabomber Haiku series, the second from a set of sonnets titled Trade. The latter were a big part of Rock Heals getting the activation energy it needed some 6+ months ago. Right away we could see they were vibrant, good, and most of all -- important. Then guiltily hid them, Frankenstein-like. And have been mixing metaphors ever since.

Also an announcement of the Taffety Punk Theatre Company's upcoming show at the Black Cat (DC), September 27th. Taffety Punk is about bringing great theater to new audiences -- fast-moving shows that are both aggressive and accessible. If you don't usually take in theater, this is a great place to start a habit.

Kick it. Send us your stuff. We're on vacation and happy -- it's a good time to hit us with strangeness. We'll read it on the beach or indoors watching torrential rains buffet the dunes.
