A book of situations, enigmatic circumstances, gags, & micro-narratives by our good friend who also happens to be one of our absolute favourite contemporary poets.

Born and raised in Kansas, Michael Klausman currently lives with his family along Colorado’s Front Range. Since being expelled from University for excessive library late fines, he has gone on to work for a handful of influential record stores, and now helps produce reissues of obscure & out-of-print albums for various labels. He is also the co-founder of WRY, a small poetry press that operates out of his garage, and which mostly specializes in letterpress publications of obscure & under-known poets. He considers his own work to exist in a continuum with the small press poetry and avant-garde movements of the 1960s & ‘70s, citing the work of Emmett Williams, Frank Kuenstler, Robert Grenier, & Clark Coolidge as being central to his practice, along with the mental detritus that accumulates from reading too many Early Music & Ethnomusicological album liner notes.

Fifty-two 8.5 x 11" pages side-stapled in an edition of 100 copies. Published by NFMP (a division of Wry, inc.), 2022. Cover drawing by Arik Moonhawk Roper.
