Week 80 Warns That The Silver Lining May Be Irradiated

Every day is like sunny (in California)

Earlier this week we were discussing this killer new poem Michael Provost had sent our way. We mentioned that we just couldn't get away from all this art that dealth with the war. Was Rock Heals becoming a war-art haus? He noted, "when one stifles dissent, it comes out in art."

Often we find that being a writer is born of being generally slow on the uptake re the obvious, and then being in utter awe of said obvious when finally coming around to it. How many poems, stories, novels even, could you rewrite with the statement, "Holymotherfuckingshit I can see now that the sun is up!" without losing too much in the translation.

Meanwhile, our second installment of Ask The Robots marries this whole "war thing" with a love of the well-coiffed by polling the forced-worker set on the latest from North Korea.

We wrap with a little blues in this week's Zombie Haiku from Thomas L. Vaultonburg.

And next week we'll solve World Hunger.
