Ron Riekki and Edward Michael Supranowicz fill up Tuesday today at Oddball Magazine.
The Blog
A tale of olden times for us old people. Read "She Who Laughs Lasts" by Anne Skove at Oddball Magazine.
Another acrostic piece from Mike Mesterton-Gibbons to kick off the week. Welcome to another new week of work at Oddball Magazine.
I spent four years at Framingham State College. Thirty years later, it's now Framingham State University, and this year might be the first time I've ever seen a sticker for their Rams sports teams.

Starting off the week with a new medical bill and a new plumbing bill. Seems like a horror week to me. Let's start with this YouTube recommendation of a song the band Eaten by Clowns.

Stone's Throw #6 was released months ago. After too many delays, the hard copies of the issue have been stapled and are ready to go out to contributors who want them. I have some addresses from contributors already, but anyone who hasn't sent me that information yet can do so before the big mailing on Tuesday. Of course, any non-contributor who wants an immediate copy of the issue and won't be seeing me anytime soon can download it here.
There will be a memorial service for LUCCI this Monday on Indigenous People's Day this Monday, October 14, at 3:00 PM ET. It's taking place at Arts at the Armory on 191 Highland Avenue, #1C. I hope to see many of you there.
So in addition to my full length collection, my chapbook All's Well Isn't You is also being published in early November by JMcD Communications. Can my local and online poetry scenes support two releases from me? Let me know.
Yesterday's Dire today. Hosted by Timothy Gager.
To say Puddles Pity Party has good range as a vocalist is an understatement.

And pick up Kirsten's latest collection from Tupelo Press.
James Van Looy pens another poem column for Mother Earth. Read It's All One Thing now at Oddball Magazine.
Not able to see Janet Cormier during Jamaica Plain Open Studios, I hope to see her soon to grab some of her smaller paintings. Maybe you'll see photos soon.
For Janet's written work, read her Bamboozled No More! column every Friday at Oddball Magazine.
From this week's online gathering. So glad to catch Noah's quirky and ambitious work. Grab a copy of his book, Not Akhmatova, and subscribe to his newsletter Everything is Horrible.
Stone Soup is back. Thanks to Noah Berlatsky for kicking off the month with a wonderful feature. Be sure to grab a copy of his new collection, Not Akhmatova. And consider subscribing to his Substack newsletter Everything is Horrible. Stay tuned for more Stone Soup news.
Let the night be more enjoyable. Noah Berlatsky is tonight's Stone Soup Poetry feature. I've wanted to invite him for a long time. I'm glad he's finally with us tonight.
Welcome back not only poet Perry L. Powell but artist Ira Joel Haber with their perfect pieces to try and set the mood for Autumn. Thanks for reading Oddball Magazine this Wednesday. Come back soon.
If we had our way, the "60 Minutes" interview with Trump would have been something like Spider Jerusalem's interview with "The Beast." From Transmetropolitan #21, part three of "The New Scum" by Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson.
Happy to have a photo to go with Keith R. Courtad's work today. Wednesday starts off fun this week at Oddball Magazine.
You can now read the entire issue of October's North of Oxford. Edited by g emil reutter and Diane Sahms.
Found this two Mondays ago. I think Liefeld Guy has signed their work. "Surwe" is a legitimate surname. That's all I know so far. I hope I find out more.
Not necessarily a political message, but I've seen less heat between the Free Gaza/Kill Hamas crowds than I have on this "Puppies For Sale" flyer.
Some of Richard Corben's later works could make your head tilt. This "adaptation" to Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" includes a Crypt Keeper-esque narrator called Mag the Hag, who narrates over the poem's original narrator! From Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven and the Red Death from Dark Horse Comics.
This Uber ad came up recently: "FREE Bacon King Meal FTW."
Does Uber know what FTW means?
To be fair, whenever I'm eating a fast food meal like that, "FTW" usually sums up my mood.
This week, courtesy of All Poetry, we have Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven." Another Poe poem? But why? Come back later this morning around nine o'clock.
I know it says "We Sell Graco Sprayers," but every time I walk buy it, I think it says "We Sell Thoughts and Prayers."
Poet Susan Isla Tepper and artist Digby Beaumont pair up to give us your Tuesday goodness over at Oddball Magazine.
