The Brandon Book Crisis (Muumuu House, 2009) "has arrived"

Copies are available here. View excerpts here/here and more information/reviews here.

The Brandon Book Crisis is a 152 page paperback “thriller” conveyed through unedited Gmail chats, emails, voicemails, text messages—featuring Brandon Scott Gorrell, Tao Lin, Jeff, Linda, Tod, Sarah, and others (view index/glossary).

The Brandon Book Crisis is limited to 150 signed/numbered copies. The first ~20 copies have been mailed to Muumuu House lifetime subscribers.

Lifetime subscribers can 30-60% expect "surprise" books like this to "happen" at a rate of 1-5 every 2 years, I think. Lifetime subscriptions are $100, a price that will likely increase over time.

The Brandon Book Crisis

For an enlarged view go here.

Orders for Ellen Kennedy's book and preorders for Brandon Scott Gorrell's book can be made. The first printing of Ellen Kennedy's book (of which David Ohle, in a new blurb, said, "She's in control of the power of the ordinary. The kind of poet you want to meet after reading") is projected to sell out at some point. Thank you for your time and consideration.

a poem written by an unreliable piece of shit
let me go eat because i am not hungry
i crotch down and put coke cans in the river;
carnival targets floating past hunters during hunting season
i’m an unreliable piece of shit; i walk in the wooden city and look at the car river and am cold
i see business men and they ran to work and i was alone standing destroyed, amongst small tents of fallen newspapers
that night i cried
let me go eat because i am not hungry
the salmon was sad but it still wanted to live
it wanted to swim and be sad and i ate it under moonlight
i saw a man with children scream the other day
he screamed quietly behind the swings
i felt self-conscious and lush and i thought, ‘i know your god. he’s my god’
sometimes i climb the swings and sit there and watch very quietly
sometimes i want to steal children and chase their innocents and claw it
i’ll ride that fleeting happiness into a shopping mall and ram the humans
i will ride the escalator without the escalator and i will hug the children and they will cry
i will eat the children
i don’t care
i will scream and throw the bubblegum machine from the second floor to the first floor
i felt compassion for the salmon and now i don’t care
i am an unreliable piece of shit
i’ll walk into a parking lot, find a jeep with a pine tree air-freshener and grip the wheel and cry.
the car will sit there
i won’t walk into my house at night and push burden off the bed
i won’t stare at the bed and i won’t feel fake
i haven’t left the parking lot
i won’t eat because i am hungry

this will probably sell out before I get $15

would you consider selling me a .pdf after 'the 150' go?

probably it's my only chance

Tao, you are a mastermind. But I haven't decided if you're evil or not yet.

hello. what colour is the room from which you are having to listen to this signal to noise ratio?

'i am not the original table. you are not the pictorial tableness/tability/ of the historical.

we are the words on an old chimney. we no longer wish to be the colours we once knew.'

if i had a myspace i would give it to you so that you could sell it. or i would let you steal it from me
