Balloon Pop Outlaw Black is out! This is what it looks like:
The cover art was drawn by Lisa Hanawalt who is a huge genius. I specifically hunted her down like an animal because I love her art so bad and I said "Lisa, will you draw a book cover for me," and she said "Sure, as long as you're fine with it depicting a bestial herd of naked romping puppeyes on all fours"
AND THEN SHE DID IT
AND I SAW IT AND I GASPED
AND THIS CONVERSATION HAPPENED
(OR SOME APPROXIMATION THEREOF)
Me, whispering: The little four-legged puppeyes are so beautiful
Lisa: Look at the chins that are also butts
Me: Look at the BUTTS that are also butts
Lisa: The bare butts
Me: Look at the butt of the main puppeye -- I want that butt on my body as a second butt
Lisa: Get a tattoo of it
Me: GET A TRAMP-STAMP OF IT
Lisa: GET A TRAMP-STAMP OF IT IF YOU SELL ALL THE BOOKS
Me: But I have never had a tattoo and my mom would say my body was ruined
Lisa: Your body WOULD be ruined, with a second butt
Me: It's so tempting
Lisa: Do a Challenge do a Tattoo Challenge
Me: DO A TRAMP-STAMP CHALLENGE
SO THERE IT IS: If I sell all the books before January 31st I will get a simply enormous tramp-stamp of a four-legged puppeye with a bare butt tattooed on me. Oh my god why would I even do this
It would look a little something like that except it would be on my body and my mom would be crying and I would be crying
DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS BAD THING
Octopus Books is the best place to buy it because shipping is free and they're currently running a promo where if you buy my book and Ben Mirov's book you get a 3rd book free!
SPD is also a good place to buy it because that counts toward the Small Press Poetry Bestsellers List!
Amazon is NOT a good place to buy it but if for some reason you can't buy from the first two places that option also exists
SEE YOU IN HELL

Good luck on reaching your goal. I would love to hear the convo. between you and your mom when she discovers you have a tatoo.
At first I read "genius" as "penius". Lisa's art is great, but would be greater if a huge penius was doing all the art.
Okay. I bought this.
Maybe poetry is cool again. Maybe that ridiculous Swede-girl from high school will like me because I'm passing around Wallace Stevens' great-great-great-granddaughter's text (time passes faster on the Internet).
I'm awaiting, eagerly, its delivery.
Is there a way to buy negative copies of your book? I feel protective.
POETRY IS NOT COOL AGAIN DON'T WORRY
Ahahaha Elisa hurl yourself in front of my lower back and do NOT let me get a fucked-up dog on it
Why do I keep saying "The oldest living cartoon character is the word 'popeye?'"
In front of my friends. It's insane. And then I try to describe the part about the ink and the negative space.
The bottom line is that I have no idea what this means or why it has been written. But it's electric when I have your book in my hands. No one knows what's coming next.
What is 'Balloon Pop Outlaw Black'?
Is it related to 'Bring Your Own Booze'?

Philippine pili nuts from the Bicol region in the Philippines is a great Filipino or Philippines food or snack. Pili nuts are very healthy and nutritious indeed, being a source of energy, potassium and iron.They also have protein, dietary fiber / fibre, and calcium as well as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. I know they have no cholesterol, no trans fat, and the unsalted ones have no sodium. What is great about the pili nut snack or treat is that they are so crisp, rich, and delicious.
