Excerpt
Why can't everyone speak Jon?
Dude, It's the awesomest
language that is...
Somewhere crossing
An 80s cartoons
And a sophistimicated
Liberal apologist.
I'm sorry, I like Jon.
You know
Jon is rooted in Hebrew
Jonathan meaning friend
So, dude, who would not want to speak
Friendly?

Double Chapbook - 60 pages, 5.5" x 8.5", ISBN: 978-1539748151

"In a thousand different cities;
First-timers,
New-timers,
Long-timers,
Standing up
And sharing poetry
With the zeal and lust
Of hellfire preachers
And angry rioters.

I want poetry to be alive and dangerous again."

- Hopes of a Young American Poet

"One last fix
Of powder and steel.
One last time
Where "The Mercy Seat"
Is mutter in prayer
To short-circuit electric hands.
Last march out;
March as brothers,
Charge as brothers,
Fall as brothers."

- Last Look Across the Burning Field

Sitting Up With the Dead by Allen Berry

Published November 13, 2016

Chapbook - 34 pages, 5.5" x 8.5", ISBN: 9781539939955

Excerpt:
There is no style in a self-painted
Thanatopsis someone else
will have to clean up.

This is supposed to be poetic.
It's supposed to mean something,
to make the world split open and
everyone take notice,
think for a moment: "wow, that was art."
