Live Giants 11: Sommer Browning & Noah Eli Gordon
You missed the live reading but you can still check out Sommer & Noah’s new books, Either Way I’m Celebrating and The Source, available from the publishers at the according links.
Blake Butler—
Ships that pass is “A collection of fake, imagined, and literary missed connections posted to Craigslist and then re-posted here with real and actual responses to fake, imagined, and literary missed connections.” And it’s good, recently featuring Sommer Browning, Fiona Maazel, ++.

Blake Butler—
Typo 14 is out. I just started reading, but Foley rips as usual and Sommer Browning pickles my butt so good: “If a human exploded isn’t a question.” More.
Rule of Threes
1. Now you can screw around with magnetic poetry wherever you are.
2. Matt Hart’s new chapbook, The Hours, from Cinematheque Press is sure to be fucking fantastic. No, I haven’t read it yet, but if his other books are any indication…. And look at all their other good stuff.
3. I know Justin posted about Sommer Browning recently. But I want to reiterate: her tweets have been making me laugh for months. Her comic has been killing me since AWP.
Sommer Browning Stand-up
Hey I just discovered this. Sommer Browning–poet, comic book artist, editor of Flying Guillotine, and host of the Pete’s Candy Store series–has officially added stand-up comedy to the list of things that she does or has done. It is very funny and you should watch it.

Also, since I’m still in Denver even though AWP is over, I thought I’d share this. It’s a pretty bad recording of a pretty okay song, attached a dead celebrity tribute video that doesn’t relate at all. If you get bored, just shut it off and watch Sommer’s thing again. Enjoy!
