"This is my War Cry!"
Misti Rainwater-Lites

There's a lot to say about Bullshit Rodeo and Misti Rainwater-Lites. Coatlism is really no longer a press. The closet only has a few more copies of Blank Cake by Misti so we just want to turn our attention to helping bring eyes to our friends who happen to be great writers. So, with that said, read Bullshit Rodeo. You will be happy you decided to read it. It's great. The problem with a small market great book like this is there is no niche of readers to give it to so they can give it the love and respect it deserves. In that regard, being a writer absolutely sucks. But it is what it is and in every other regard being a writer is the best job in the world so that's what writers just have to go through.

I was once hoping that Coatlism Press will be that medium that gives name to a certain type of poetry, like Misti's, but that never materialized. I tend to be a dreamer. Instead I'd like to suggest the name "Ball Twisting Poetry" for this War Cry Style of attack poetry that sees everything and lays it on the line straight. Bullshit Rodeo is a book of fiction, but it reads a bit like poetry and it is most certainly ball-twisting. In a good way.

Animated Glyphic Novella in Verse Comes to Life from Ralph-Michael Chiaia on Vimeo.

Glyphic (Part 7) inspired this animation. The music is from Supaman, and the animation is from a talented young Mexican artist. This book is a swaggering travelogue laced with rants against big business and psychedelic wanderlust.

Solving Amazon's Global Listings confusion

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 10 Nov 2013 23:47:00 -0800

As many of you know, Glyphic is now out on the Amazon Store. Some of my readers are abroad and have complained it is not listed in the UK store or the Spanish Store. Please just sign in with your normal account into the US store and buy as usual. The shipping may be higher (around $10). That's the deal. To help authors with this link to country confusion I'm including a link to a Smart URL service that lets you branch out from one link to the proper country. Check it out.
