Illustrated by Rod Bass, cover art by s.c.virtes. Published July 2001 by Lockout Press Sample: "Closet Fest" the clothes in the closet are breathing slowly, at a microscopic level expanding, contracting as the temperature shifts, circulating the slightest puffs of air; they huddle together as the night grows cold and push apart during the stuffy hours when the house is empty, they play card games after lunch but without eyes there is little strategy; at the sound of an opening door the deck gets tucked back into a sweater pocket there is a faint giggle as they joke about pulling the wool over human eyes one more time. 24 pages.

It was the coolest surprise of my day. I frickin' LOVED it, man. I loved the premise of the book as much as I loved the poetry in it. Your poems have a damn tasty charm to them, my friend, like Charlie Chaplin. The 'scaryness' of the bed bugs was great, and that allowed the pathos in some of them to really take me by surprise. Delightful. You have a real knack for delivering a great punch at the ends of your poems - and a real talent all around." - Ken Scar, Old Globe Theater Free counters provided by Andale.
