                                                       I think this character
                                                       is a sieve hound of
                                                       obscure ordinary type

                                                       Lame domestic turbulence
                                                       Like liking in thought flats

Anselm Berrigan is working on a kind of excavation process, the consequences of which will hopefully remain tbd. A half-book, or a book written halfly, with John Coletti having written the other halfly, called SKASERS, should be ejected from Flowers & Cream soon. Another book, Primitive State, might come out some time down the road. He would like some decent-to-well paying but not too overbearing work starting in February.
