MY NEW CHAPBOOK, THE HOURS, IS NOW AVAILABLE!

I'm super thrilled that Chicago's Cinematheque Press has just published my new chapbook, THE HOURS. Here's the Cinematheque Description:

All the hours we're awake or sleeping. They are illustrious. They are legendary. Dancing will get you everywhere. So will a megaphone. Matt Hart burns dear radiation in every line, every word, & The Hours is so motorcycle you might want to get naked. Beware: you may find yourself moonstomping in your sleep. Verse! Chorus! Crescendo! Read with headphones on & "Someday you should see gravity."

You can get the chap here:

Editor/publisher, Nate Slawson, made the books look gorgeous, and I'm so grateful. It's only $8. Please support his mighty and amazing press.

Also, just a reminder my collaborative book with Dobby Gibson, Late Makeup Years and Decline (1979-1983) is available from the great new Minneapolis Press, Hell Yes! You can get it here.

Thanks for checking these out.

...1 QUOTATION MINUS... PLUS, NO RAVENS, NEW POEMS

1. "...every text's about saying something, even if that something is nothing at all. This is the metamorphosis of soundlessness into silence..." - Vanessa Place from "Ventouses" in Notes on Conceptualisms

And as everyone knows thanks to John Cage and George Macuinas and Sonic Youth, among others: silence is music, so every text saying something, which is nothing at all, is a text in song, somebody singing (where somebody is a nobody/everybody/no).

2. Two poems in conversation, by myself and Nate Pritts at The Collagist.

3. Two poems I must've written with a broken foot in the new notnostrums.

Thanks to the Eds. of both these journals.
