5. Aaron Burch interview at new Word Riot. Glow like lung tattoos.

I don’t know. I think one of the interesting things of having been writing stories for a good handful of years now is looking back at stuff and seeing what recurs and finding those fascinations that you weren’t really aware of. I guess I could say something like I believe, often, you have to be taken apart, by yourself or something else, and then be put back together to really grow/change/etc., and so I guess that was kind of what the book became about, though that’s the answer I put together just now for this interview; I’ve certainly never thought of it that prescriptively before, nor was it an intention when working the book.

1. You can buy Andy Warhol’s turtleneck.The same people will sell you Martian Meteorites and Madonna’s appointment books.

February 1999: Pick up dog at daycare. Do crunches. Run LONG! Select polymer for breast cone. Step into groove. Drink 3 ounces lemon juice. Tell Pepsi Co. to go fuck themselves. Wax.

7. If every single poem you wrote was published in mags would you gather those poems and send out the mss? Aren’t they already out in the world?

213. Prime Number Magazine is open for submissions starting now. You miss 100% of publications you never submit to, blar me, rosy tunnel, etc.

      Sean? A lot of stories in my collection of stories VERY APE have been published. Is that bad to include the already published stuff in the collection of stories? I didn’t even think about it. Is that the thing NOT to do? Help.

      I said ALL. Every single. And I’m opening the question to discussion. I am also asking because I have a huge flash collection mss about to send out with maybe 85% published in mags material. That’s a lot!

      Your collection is fine. Or better than.
