This record is just incredible. So humane and bittersweet, full of the human comedy. Good god, I didn't know this kind of thing could still be done! - Jared

two
Two have reviewed Mrs. M lately - thanks! Act nice, act nice and gentle to me.
The cover is Gocco. There will be an issue 2. Writing this, I realize that I had a dream last night that Jared said there will be no issue 3, but that was only a dream (or will have been only a dream once the semester is over).
So I guess there are no more copies at Pegasus? I think there are some at Diesel, but I'll check.

underlined
Reading a biography of William James, thinking about links between the occult and the rational or hyper-rational, waiting for Jared to comment in this space, I underlined 2 James quotes to put in here:
"The peace of rationality may be sought through ecstasy when logic fails..."
"The Absolute is what has not yet been transcended, criticized, or made relative. So far from being something quintessential and unattainable as is so often pretended, it is practically the most familiar thing in life. Every thought is absolute to us at the moment of conceiving it or acting upon it."
I'm thinking, poetry may not be critique, but it tries to critique - makes absolutes (thoughts, sounds) and then interrogates them. Reading Irresponsibility by Chris Vitiello makes me think about this too.

No More/More
last week i sent out the last copy of mrs. m issue #1 (a secret copy that had been hiding in plain sight on my dashboard). so it is sold out via the mails, though there are a couple copies still at pegasus and some at diesel.
on the more hand, jared and i just had an idea for issue #3 (putting cart before horse as usual since we're working on issue #2 presently). i'll say no more presently except that we've just realized that our idea is actually an inadvertent homage to the amazing roberto bolaño.
i can't wait for 2666 to come out.

brother projects
This new EP, Storm-Driven Bird, by the Parish, is an exciting project. Jared is related to it. I am also related to it through another relative. It sounds and looks great - released on Gold Robot Records, artwork by Brooklyn-based artist Ian Umlauf. I wish Mrs. Maybe would make sounds aside from rustling.

Where the Mrs. Is
you can now find Mrs. Maybe at
Diesel, a bookstore
5433 College Avenue
Oakland, CA 94618
as well as at
Pegasus Books
2349 Shattuck Avenue
Berkeley, CA 94704
I like to go in to both these places. For future, I plan to admire the Mrs. Maybes sitting on actual shelves and buy too many of the small poetry books and daydream about buying too many of the big fat art books.
