I’ve missed out on opportunities to announce readings and publications via this site; amends will be made shortly.

For now, suffice to announce: “The Death of Our Hair,” illustrated by Mr. Ethan Gould, impeccable artist and mind-warper, has been published in the lovely 26th issue of the Brooklyn Review, whose site is still being turned forward into 2009.

“T.D.o.O.H.” is a low comedy about hair, the Crusades, the hair of the Crusades, history, how we write about history, indecision, cities, and other subjects of interest to a wide variety of readers. Mr. Ethan Gould’s drawings of curious rock-like/twine-bound stone figures add vim and spice to an otherwise desert-solemn typographical experience.

Also available is issue no. 5 of Pomp & Circumstance, the Brooklyn arts & culture glossy I help edit. I am now the “Technology & Faith” section editor, meaning I solicit nonfiction about wires and beliefs and their intersections. Issue no. 6 concerns survival and survivalism and promises to be an extra-hoot, assuming my writers deliver on their goods. Otherwise, I’ll be a nutless squirrel in winter…

Ahem. Shop for P&C at local Barnes & Nobles, newsstands in the greater New York City supra-urb, and my house, where cat-ravaged copies of the previous four issues are slowly leaking onto the floor as I prepare to move to Ditmas Park.

Thirdly, Electric Literature no.1 is now available for popular consumption via print-on-demand (from Ingram, no less), epub, Kindle, Sony Reader, and probably smoke-signal, steam-punk vacu-helmet mind-transfer, &c.

Electric is a bi-monthly journal/e-journal of new fiction by (often famous, generally amazing) authors including Michael Cunningham, Jim Shepard, and T. Cooper. Rick Moody endorses it. I might be involved with it in some capacity; stay tuned.

Also available for gawking-at is the Atlas Obscura of Mr. D. T., Mz. M. E., and Mr. J. F., all noble and competent author-explorers. I am not involved with the Atlas but plan to be soon, via their moderated wiki-curiosities-posting system. If you read Curious Expeditions or once read the Kircher Society’s blog, check out A.O.

Also hell of dope is this guy’s site, which I just found randomly.
