Chad Parenteau's Lost Causes, 5-31-23

Trying to type twenty words without hacking

I’ll tell you the Chad News First

First I had a birthday, then my girlfriend had a birthday. Then I was sick as hell.

I’m not one hundred percent better yet. It took a week.

My first few weeks of being fifty were not what I would call ideal.

I’m trying to get my groove back. After I finish this, I will be signing a contract to have a chapbook published. It won’t be out until next year to coincide with either the end or just near-end of civilization.

I’ll also be sending out work to some journals. Even a zine, which I might go into later.

Stone Soup Poetry

Cancelled Stone Soup Poetry two weeks in a row. We’re back tonight, and our online features are Carol Weston and Margaret Wesel.

I’ll be getting ready for Stone Soup in June. That’s all I have the energy to announce.

Oddball Magazine

Click here for poetry byArked, Rajosik Mitra and Claire Halavage. Nice artwork and photography by Steven Warren, Edward Michael Supranowicz, Linda Matthews-Denham and Ira Joel Haber.

In addition to nice timely work by Duane Anderson, we had Oddball Stories with Lindsay-Rose Dunstan, MD. Jason leads the poem columnist charge with his Jagged Thoughts. Tomorrow we’ll have James Van Looy’s It’s All One Thing and Janet Cormier’s Bamboozled No More! and Bruce Wise with Wise Words. Extra stuff for the start of Pride Month? Sure.
