We are looking for all types of writing and art. We adore experimental writing or hybrid pieces that are hard to categorize.

a magazine

So, as soon as a I put out this cheese chapbook, I will start taking submissions for the first issue of mad moth. Mad Moth will be a print magazine, but I will take email submissions. Each issue will probably revolve around a theme--or maybe 2 themes with half the mag for one, half for the other. The themes will prob be varied and sometimes weird. Possible themes I jotted down during a 5 minute brainstorm session at work:

rhizomes/ rhizomatic
chance
memory
exile
breathless
film
beat
eat
Ted Berrigan


yeah, i like the idea of having 2 themes in an issue--like maybe a vague word that a person can take however they take and maybe a person...

The Hit Bum

so i wish i could post some excerpts from THE HIT BUM...but the formatting gets off

oddment tweak and the wonky faints

it is fun to make up songs about harry potter...my trouble comes in putting them to music

here is a song i wrote for Hedwig...(the chorus uses the tune wake up little suzie...i keep changing my mind about how the rest of the song should sound...i just have a vague image in my head since i function visually and music wise can just say what i like)

Dead Hedwig Who?


Knock Knock
Who’s there
Dead Hedwig
No
Wake up little Hedwig, wake up
Wake up little Hedwig wake up
you are just resting deep, wake up little Hedwig or I’ll weep
my childhood’s over, deatheaters swarm and we’re in trouble deep
wake up little Hedwig
wake up little Hedwig now
I lost you and my firebolt in one cleansweep

she’s just stunned, she’ll move soon
no, that’s what I call a dead owl, my dead owl
stone dead, cold dead
blazing in a cage
she’s resting I tell you
so let’s wake her up
Wake up little Hedwig, wake up
Wake up little Hedwig wake up
you are just resting deep, wake up little Hedwig or I’ll weep
my childhood’s over, deatheaters swarm and we’re in trouble deep
wake up little Hedwig
wake up little Hedwig now

wake up little Hedwig
wake up little Hedwig
wake up little Hedwig
wake up little Hedwig
wake up!

Looking for Poetry About Cheese

National Cheese Day!!

Where I work is odd in a great way....and in January, we celebrate National Cheese Day and eat a lot of cheese things and we play this game kinda like bochi that an old employee made and sent to us last year (it's called the big cheese)

So, last year, someone found a quote:"Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese."--G.K. Chesterton

so I promised her I would take up the challenge...I want to come up with enough to make a little chapbook so if anyone else wants to write about cheese (or if you already have), post it here or email me at itisrockstar@gmail.com and i'll include your work and mail you a chappy.
