The Catch-22 Of The War Against ISIS And Our “Allies” That Support Said War
A few weeks ago, I read in the news that Turkey was going to allow US Planes to use Turkish Airbases to attack ISIS.

The world is ending in 24 hours. How would it end and what would you do?
In the beginning… The world, or humankind if not the world, or civilization if not humankind, has ended (or been threatened with ending) countless times in literature; mythology, religion, movies, and music. Stars dying, Stars flaring, asteroids, aliens, war, global warming, ice age, rapture, Ragnarök, a big ass turtle moving, earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, monsters, magic […]

A Walk In The Park

I Can’t Stand Anna Karenina (the book)
Black Out Poems are not unfortunately about what happened after I drank too much last night. It’s a poem where you take a page of a book and find words to make a poem by blacking out the rest. I used a book that many consider to be the gold standard of literature, but I can’t […]
