Vermin on the Mount

GBV: SUNDAY AUGUST 26

To paraphrase a line from Tuco: "If you miss, you had better miss very well. Whoever double-crosses me and leaves me alive, he understands nothing about Vermin."

Translation: Don't miss it!

THE PRESENT IS OUT OF STYLE

The piece that Theresa Duncan read at Vermin on the Mount late last year was published in Bald Ego #3. A sample:

We stand now not on any stable present, but straddle the past and future as the crack between the two open, accelerates, and widens like a funhouse attraction where patrons must leap to one side Now! before the chasm sends them hurtling down a long corkscrew slide and ejects them through a painted clown's mouth. Past or future, take your choice, but do it fast. It's the last month of the last year of the first decade of the Twentieth Century. Bing-Bong! The present is out of style.

I purchased a copy last week and ascertained that her work is indeed in there, appropriately accompanied by art by Jeremy Blake.
