Spray:

Results resulted from a chapbook invitation from Trainwreck Press. My first thought was to publish a “seep” sequence but was worried that it might conflict with my upcoming “seep” volume from Black Widow Press. Wondering what to submit, whether or not “seep” should be vetoed, “results” slammed into my psyche. 


I envision a 25 page verbal spontaneous rush which would be free of the currently popular trend of typographical “décor” so facilely enabled on today’s computers. This was a project with constraints:

I would insist that the unadorned ‘word’ carry the day void of any ornamental flourishes; no punctuation would be permitted other than capitalizing proper names.

In this age of distraction & ready convenience, I felt this approach would 

place a deeper responsibility on the language, that by reducing the text to the 

purely lingual, the pressure for the word to perform at full capacity would be 

unconditional.


Results (in its entirety) is included included in SEEP, which is available via Black Widow Press. To purchase copies of SEEP directly from the publisher, please see here.
