summer turns

late summer's wheat

It seems that Summer slipped out, uneventfully, at least for kittyBOOGER. Have you had the opportunity to read twenty-twelve? Are you hoping to submit your stories, photos, prints, poems, plays, maps, music, journal entries, horoscopes, dance steps ... well it is getting close to that time already.


We will be posting soon about all the things you have been waiting for.

kittyBOOGER meeting, Solstice-style

Gluten-free pizza, a bottle of chilled, cheap wine, and kittyBOOGER talk.

We're talking bookstores to carry kittyBOOGER twenty-twelve to get a copy to you all a bit easier.

We're talking release party ...

We're avoiding kB HQ, which is sweltering.

The longest day of the year deserves many long-term plans. Happy Solstice!


-Tom & Steph

lost and found

When kittyBOOGER was a more humble publication studio, we made one-of-a-kind handmade books to mail off to distant friends and family, as a reminder that we were thinking of them.

I just came across the first one penned with a kB signature up here in Burlington, VT ...

2012 contributor: Stephanie Lavon Trotter

Stephanie Lavon Trotter tells people she's an opera singer because that's her training, but the dead arias of old dead white men are the last thing leaving her lips these days. On a bear being ridden by a ghost, an e.p., and her contribution to kB2012, she builds open compositions from formal constraints, field recordings, and, more than anything, that finally wild and unleashed instrument--the voice--she's kept hidden under her head all these years. What's more, Stephanie did all the layout for the kittyBOOGER mag. She's the one who so lovingly numbered all the stickers. She's the best.

When she isn't recording sounds, she's reading and writing for her MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts at Goddard College, and baking gluten free confections.

2012 contributor: Ted Powers

 Ted Powers' poems are straight-forward and witty. He creates these palpable scenes, and overwhelming emotions - you feel like you are watching an entire fiction unfold in a few lines. He is a great word-smith, and it seems that he is just sitting there talking to you.
 

You can find some more of his work online at decomP,  NOÖ Journal, ILK, Sixth Finch, and iO: Poetry.


And if you happen to be in or around Western Mass., stop in at the Flying Object bookstore, and say hello Ted - last we heard he is an intern there.
