Cormac McCarthy writes of Rae Armantrout's recent work "...the book establishes Armantrout as a bad ass who will not hesitate to kill you and then go shopping with your boyfriend. She's brash, cocky, and not afraid to offend. "Gun Shots" and "Prevent Lies" further expand upon her skills with the glock in a way that seems more fantasy than reality, as if Rakim was flirting with gangsta rap with his microphone assassin rhymes. Despite all of her talk of flossin' and mayhem, Armantrout comes off more like Kool Keith than 50 Cent." Rae Armantrout has owned a dog, a goldfish and 4 succulent plants within the last 7 1/2 months.
C.S Giscombe recently bought a house in Walnut Creek, CA. He enjoys yoga and turntablism. He loves to shop at Upper Playground. His most recent tattoo, a belly piece done by Doug Hansen of IDLE HAND reads "East Of The Caldecott." His book Giscombe Road is largely based on Tolkien's Silmarillion.
Alli Warren is currently excited about the word "antipodes." Her work has appeared in Complex, Swindle and 7x7. Parts of her book, I Prefer Shiraz, was anthologized in The Best American Poetry 2002 edited by David Lehman. Warren is 19 years old and lives in a condo with two dogs and one chain-smoking Uncle overlooking San Francisco's scenic, foggy Ocean Beach.

Michael "Keaton" Slosek passed this sucker off to me at the last BOTH BOTH...it's a beaut...go order that shit.
also, as a shameless promotion for BOTH BOTH, Slosek says of the last reading "John got super drunk at the reading and started cursing out David Larsen, and making inappropriate gestures at all the girls. It was awesome. And the poetry was pretty good too."
...this is mostly true, LRSN and i actually got into a fist fight, but we're cool now...i mean, we're cool right LRSN?...so, next BOTH BOTH debauchery is on Friday May 16th, 7pm w/ Julian Brolaski and Tracy Grinnell...when in Rome and all that rigmarole...

Cronenberg...
dreamt that i had a fungus growing on my right foot...was scratching the fungus out so hard that i had basically torn out the bottom of my foot...my bones were mossy and yellow, my tendons were dry and stretched...i had picked away so much of the rot that i had burrowed a penny sized hole through my foot...i couldn't walk, my foot would collapse under the weight...
