Cosmos: An Anthology of
Southern California Poetry
"The following pages feature the work of ten remarkable Southern California poets who passed on in the last decade and a half. In their lifetimes, they were essential members of the poetry scene, and that scene continues now without them, as it will, ultimately, without each of us. For those who knew them, they have left memories; for friends and newcomers alike, they have left remarkable bodies of work. 'Good friends we've had / oh, good friends we've lost along the way,' Bob Marley once sang. The following pages celebrate some of those friends."

Book Release: The Daughters of Bastards by Iris Berry
https://www.createspace.com/3884122
The Daughters of Bastards by Iris Berry
Published by Punk Hostage Press
Afterword by Dimitri Monroe, Introduction by Pleasant Gehman, Cover design or artwork by Geoff Melville, Edited by A. Razor, Associate editor Michele McDannold
124 pages, 6" x 9"
$15.95
Purchase here
The long awaited book from Punk Hostage Press founding editor Iris Berry, entitled The Daughters Of Bastards, is a ride through the dirty streets of 1980s Hollywood that never stops delivering the real taste of a womanhood claiming a place for itself surrounded by the perverseness of a crumbling mystique that was once a golden tinseled dreamland.
About the author:
Iris Berry is one of the founding creative minds behind Punk Hostage Press. She is a native Angeleno who writes about her personal experiences from the sun baked asphalt violent streets of Pacoima, running away to the allure of late 70's Hollywood, at the age of 15, looking for a better life against the historical backdrop of the Los Angeles skyline.
Her poetry and prose, as well as her performances in such memorable groups as the Lame Flames and the Ringling Sisters, are an integral part of L.A.'s contemporary literary movement. She has recently featured articles and interviews in Slake, her most recent being an in depth interview with Art Kunkin, the founder of the Los Angeles Free Press back in the early 60s.
Her latest book, The Daughters of Bastards, features some of her most intimate work she has shared with the public to date. A working title that she has compiled these personalized stories under for the last 10 years, these poems and stories represent a grappling with the idea of origin and the drift that occurs when the umbilical has been cut and the search begins for what might have been lost at the beginning.
It reflects her experiences and gives insight to some of her adventurous times growing up on the streets of Hollywood in the golden era of the LA punk rock scene.

New Book by April Michelle Bratten
It Broke Anyway
by April Michelle Bratten
NeoPoiesis Press
ISBN 978-0-9855577-6-8
182 pages
$16.95
5.5”x8.5” perfect bound, paper
order online at NeoPoiesis Press (http://www.neopoiesispress.com/) or amazon.com
April Michelle Bratten blasts in with her potent, no-holds barred tongue and obliterates the marrow of the insulated inertia, uncorks the rabid subterfuge of day-to-day existence and lures us like a river into deep rapids. Bratten’s collection is fearless, captivating, drops us down into those parts of ourselves we are terrified and yet excited to penetrate.--Meg Tuite, author of Domestic Apparition and Disparate Pathos
(excerpt)
She Moves As I Move
When I saw her hair move,
I was reminded of how I can move,
we can move,
because she does move like
brown pumping splitting heart.
There is a walking bridge.
I have seen it move over the city.
We were there together once.
I saw her on it,
moving inside that great cage.
She moved her head,
she moved her mouth, she moved.
She asked if the walls were built,
if that cage was built,
to prevent the movements,
to stop the movers from moving,
jumping, steaming, toppling off the bridge.
I said, I guess so, then I just
watched her move, felt my own move,
then felt sad
that all of our movements are only temporary,
that we must one day stop moving.
Then we moved away, we moved away.
I saw her moving as she left,
a walking, moving, brown,
carousing, galloping, steering heart
that just moved as I was moving
and left anyway.
April Michelle Bratten writes out demarcations and maps of inner journeys turned outward with a velocity of truth that sears the reader with a flame of love at the center of it all. It is an eternal fire that will free the spirit from any wreckage encountered along the route that her words will guide you on from beginning to end.--A. Razor, editor/publisher, Punk Hostage Press
April Michelle Bratten’s poetry explores, with a ferocious skill and immediacy, just about every layer of human experiences of our time. She internalizes the places she visits, physical or mental, transforming herself to enable a deeper empathetic connection with that place. She is thus, not a passive observer but moves beyond the state of being a witness to becoming a participant, engaging her readers too to share and partake in the same. Her work is addictive, insightful, exotically crafted, often with vignettes of humor and most of all, positively sensual.--June Nandy, author of The lines must die
It Broke Anyway, which pays homage to the trials and tribulations of women, reminds me of the Bob Dylan Song, “Just Like a Woman,” except that Bratten's characters never break just like little girls. Instead she creates multidimensional characters who will remind you of your sister, mother, grandmothers, aunts, girl friends and most notably yourself. Bratten's cunning parallels, chilling narratives, and haunting endings remind us what breaks is often more epochal than what remains intact.--Rebecca Schumejda, author of Cadillac Men (New York Quarterly Books)
From the wells of narrative emotion comes a different April Michelle Bratten from the one I was first introduced to years ago. This April has decided to dive into the dark places we go when we need to see how far material light reaches. This is a compilation of raw emotion wrapped around form, like a collection of her memories, but those of others too.--Jason Neese, screenwriter, author, and co-editor of Kill Poet
She talks to us and herself all at once in a primal way only decoded through the simple act of reading the pieces. A sexual anxiety turns the screws on each poem like rivets being stripped, the details the closest we get to clothing, but in the end, we enjoy the naked trip.
April Michelle Bratten's poetry does not pretend. It does not put on airs; it is exquisite. Her relationship to the word is careful and creative but she leaves room for the reader to interpret, to draw their own conclusions, to have a moment to themselves inside the thoughts of another. It is so rare to find this in a poet---willing to stand aside from any platform and simply bear witness.--Michele McDannold, founding editor and publisher at Citizens for Decent Literature
With this book, April Michelle Bratten has let her truest colors burn bright, both a vulnerable glimpse into her day to day emotional grind and a sensual coming of age, her poems take no prisoners and offer no apologies for the beautiful awkward moments that make us who we are.--John Dorsey, author of White Girl Problems: Poems & Stories

Paleolithic Bone Hut: A review of Tim Murray's chapbook "Dinosaur Ditch" by Frankie Metro
It’s not going to do you any good by questioning the reasoning for a blue wooly mammoth on the cover of Dinosaur Ditch (Tim Murray CFDL Press 2012).
A hand- made, screen- print, card-stock saddle-stitch, this book exemplifies the spirit of DIY publishing; igniting the same excitement an avid reader found in the days of the mimeograph… the ages of Micheline and Levy.
Part 1
is an introduction to the American Black Heart i.e. Northwest Indiana. Tim’s perception of his birth rite is a place riddled with smoke stacks, pollution and an almost unredeemable, thus unapologetic, existence.
Thru blind birth luck
I live in Indiana
Frozen crossroads of the American conundrum
Under the legalized gusts
Of steel mill exhausts
Where the mercury-laced waters
Of Lake Michigan lap in the north
However, in the same state of affairs are traditional family relics and boyhood candor.
Where boys spend summers pissing from trees
In Dinosaur Ditch
Where grandma’s iron kitchen skillet
Fist received its golden commandment from heaven
The key transitional points of the poem are located in the vinyl coated, mechanized blood of factory workers, fathers with balled fists and:
Where summers lasts for two hours in July
Then returns to comforting gray chilled skies
Where Tina was snuffed out at 19
Stabbed and discarded like a sack of trash
Still no suspects in sight
The Perils of Language
explains (through a trilogy of arrant and brazen metaphors) how so much of basic communication is lost in modern language.
Sometimes language gets in the way of
relaying a particular image thru ink
to page
and it is a real drag because
I end up saying something like…
Tin can zombie
when what I really mean is…
Your milky skin
In the early morning
Sun
I particularly enjoyed the guest appearances of both Geddy Lee and Kamala within the poem. Rush has always been a guilty pleasure of mine, and when I see T/M’s speculation on The Spirit of Radio:
Like when Geddy Lee sings…
Digital airwaves crackle with life
when you sense his true observation
is something along the lines of…
My life has absolutely no significance
And I could better serve humanity by returning to
Ontario and finding work in a paint factory
I don’t feel as bad by not owning up to my admiration… before now.
Pages 6-8 show T/M’s own conflicted admirations for pop culture icons, and considering the magnanimous presence he exudes (both on page and in person) I think it’s safe to say Tim Murray is an iconoclast in the making.
If I gotta read biography
I wanna read the last chapter
Last moments in the life of the immortal images of pop culture
Say
The paunchy slouched version of
James Douglas Morrison
Tearing tab from beer can
w/suds streaming through tangled beard
(wounded child clown angel perhaps)
A Unicycle Built for Two
is a map of domestic booby traps, fail- safes, shattered vanity mirrors and no more misconceptions.
We all know that a private corner
Devoid of all human interaction is completely
Necessary and therefore impossible
Yeah having time to live with the person
Who gives your tummy a tingle and your
Butterflies a stir
Is surely a curse
Because we soon find out the truth about steamy Hollywood
Shower scenes
At the very best they are a hilarious joke
In theory they sound as good as ice cream for dinner
In practice your partner always hogs the side with the
Warm water leaving you shivering with your back against
The frigid tile wall
Then there’s the toenail clippings in the living room
And the rough way your partner handles your records
On the turntable
Page 12’s continuation is a very, very, very (familiar) common discussion, which frightened me on 2 levels:
A) Does T/M have an invisible x-ray telescope with built- in video/audio recording equipment that can see and hear from great distances- interactions between monogamous couples, even in the sanctity of their filthy bathrooms.
I can't find the car keys!
Uh…well I obviously don’t have ‘em.
Where did you last see them?
In the front door lock.
When was that?
(grunt) Last night when I came home.
Oh great…so you left the fucking keys in the door all night…again?
B) There are more couples besides my wife and myself that have similar conversations?
(longer grunt) Uh…I…uh…guess…there’s a strong possibility…yes.
If they’ve been in the door all night I’m gonna kill you!
(lighter grunt)…
Finally, the title poem suggests that such minor inconveniences only serve as learning tools for ultimate/simplistic appreciation; the minor infractions are forgotten over time, and dancing through schoolyard tornadoes, crashing into walls of disappointment, fleeing the scene during appropriate/inappropriate times- leaves you with memories of all the last times.
then one afternoon my younger brother called to say
D.C. was gone
and I heard how he’d been home for a stretch
before the army decided to redeploy him to Iraq
and they sent him down to Missouri for
some training maneuvers
and it was in the Missouri woods
that a couple of ticks decided to hitch a ride on his bare
skin and D.C. fell ill
and within a few hours he made the great departure
and they say it was rocky mountain spotted fever
or Lyme disease or perhaps a combination of both
the only thing certain is that D.C. is gone
and he left behind a son as young as we once were
and that spilled forth the realization of my own certain mortality
flooded with the memories I’ve related in this pome
and I remember the last time I spoke to D.C.
circa 1994
he sat in front of me in Mr. Krieger’s health class
and one day D.C. was sleeping at his desk as papers were being
passed and
I nudged him and said
D.
D.
take one pass ‘em on
and without saying a word he raised his head
took the papers from my hand
passed them forward
and returned to his school day nap

WHEELER HILL, N.Y. – Ninety-nine poets from 22 states and 6
countries speak out on behalf of the 99%, encouraging their fellow
citizens to join in the effort to end corporate excess and income
inequality, and win back the middle-class from corporate titans and
their political puppets.
Co-editors Karla Linn Merrifield and Dwain Wilder have assembled the
first anthology of its type in the world to inspire readers to take
action on behalf of the 99%.
"Poets here have left their quiet corners and hit the streets to
encourage their neighbors to address the needs of the homeless…to
fight side by side with besieged homeowners who are facing
foreclosure...to eliminate corporate “personhood” and inordinate
corporate influence on Capital Hill. We want readers to learn; we want
them to act,” said Merrifield, author of six books of poetry.
In a similar vein, co-editor Dwain Wilder remarked, "I have very much
enjoyed having a part to play in this collection's coming together. It
is to be hoped that this will not be just a poetic artifact of
historic interest (which I certainly hope it will!), but that it will
also be the start of yet another breath taken by Americans on their
long, vigilant road toward fully realizing our national dream of
freedom, liberty and justice for all."
An historic book
Contributing poet Chris Crittenden of Lubec, ME, remarked on the
historical nature of the anthology, saying: “The Wall Street debacle
of 2008 is the blow that broke the weakened backbone of American
supremacy. Ninety-nine voices within these hand-sewn pages capture the
outrage, shame and anguish of a vast potential squandered. They embody
the wounded consciousness of a fractured and dismayed citizenry, and
their howls, laments, and torn dithyrambs shall fascinate historians a
thousand years from now as much as they stab us today.”
Diverse Voices, Diverse Styles
“Poetry wields a special force in the Occupy movement. It is a
medium that comes from the deep roots of our subconscious, in a myriad
of styles, to focus attention on social injustice and political
tyranny. Occupy poetry gives voice to the voiceless and unites the
movement with a river of words and a fire of images. That is, ‘a
posse ad esse’…from possibility to actuality,” says contributing
poet Devreaux Baker. And myriad is a key word.
Humor and rage, compassion and irony and so much more! Liberty’s
Vigil, The Occupy Anthology may have a single unifying theme, but its
poets represent a wide range of viewpoints and styles. You’ll find
in the book’s pages distinguished poetic masters such as William
Heyen and Francisco X. Alarcón as well as poets just launching their
careers. And, the 99 poets’ styles range from free verse to tanka to
villanelle to sestina to…. Here’s Elizabeth Bodien‘s
contribution:
Tanka: as winter bites
as winter bites
the fraying jacket rips
how to mend?
a few own all the needles, thread
the rest only their voices
And here’s an excerpt from Bill Dorris’s “The EU Commissions a
Group Portrait by Van Gogh:”
We want something that captures the essential humanity
of a high-yield market,
that shows the lives we have previously revoked
are merely subject to default....

Movements, as a staff member of the Southern Christian Leadership
Conference’s Project Dialogue, and coordinator of the Southern
Coordinating Committee to End the War in Vietnam. In this latter
capacity, he worked closely with students, Quakers, pacifists and
civil rights field workers across the South to organize the only
South-wide Anti-War March, on Lincoln’s Birthday, Feb 12, 1967. He
was also security marshal for the 1967 Fifth Avenue Parade against the
War, worked with Staughton Lynd as a community organizer in New Haven,
