They got it figured
out yo
they got it all
figured out:
anything that doesn’t make
sense is profound, and nothing
juxtaposed
with more nothing
is suddenly something.

Thirty five years ago two humanoids were artificially created. They were mixed in test tubes like martinis. The first one was formed, or “crafted”, from a carefully chosen composite of genes, and the second was then cloned from the first.

The Essential Numbers
by Gordon Massman
Tarpaulin Sky Press
I cannot fucking review Gordon Massman’s The Essential numbers. This collection of prose poetry came in the mail over a year ago. I had been waiting for it and was quite excited when it showed up. That night I read the book in a single sitting. My reaction was one of shock. I felt numb and dazed by what I had experienced. I had to believe that the book was something other than what I first perceived.

Iambs are for elevated speech. Because the lines do not start with a stressed beat, the iamb is a cool-headed metrical form. Due to the stressed second beat, the iamb naturally lends itself to endstops. A talented poet can use the interplay of a line pause to break up the logical tick-tok of the iamb. More

Trick with a Knife wants to publish some fiction and poetry (just a little, and rarely). To that end submissions are open and will remain open until I say they are closed. Send your words (in the body of an email) to twak@disproductions.org. Rsponse times will vary wildly. I mean it.
If you are curious about the sort of writing we want, look at our contributors. Read their words out there on the internet. Then you will understand.
With love.

Lovesick by Howie Good
The Poetry Press
ISBN 978-0978904166
Howie Good turns words into a reciprocating saw that can be worked through your gut. He has internalized the existential horror of existence and turned it outward. In the pages of Lovesick, Good alternates between the scalpel and the three pound hammer. He slices and smashes. These poems deal with terror, love, pain, loss, regret, politics; in short, all of the terrible things that life has to offer.
