DVD_3D-Gendernauts Gendernauts
So soon I’m off to take part in the filming of a short teaser for Gendernauts 2 . This will be a short film in preparation for a feature that reprises the amazing Gendernauts shot and directed by the awesome Monika Treut in San Francisco some twenty years ago. I’m not living in San Francisco right now, having relocated recently and I’m searching for work in my new city. So, any small amount anyone can spare to help with the expense of being back in San Francisco, while the film is being made, and keeping current on my bills — is appreciated! The film should be super!

I should probably get a Patreon account at some point and all of this is on the drawing board, but till then, any small or larger contribution is appreciated at the “donate” button.

You know you are the best. Thank you!!!

New Tumblr

Just so everyone is aware, I have a new Tumblr called, aptly enough –hypotenuse-wolf and titled “Max Wolf Valerio”. I’ll mainly keep it focused on poetry and writing, art and music with some trans-related “stuff” thrown in for good measure. Here: http://hypotenuse-wolf.tumblr.com/

I’ll be revamping this blog. More to come!

new work by j/j hastain: Non-Novels – The New Elemental Project

j/j hastain is a poet, priestess, and pundit of the subconscious, surreal and sensationally sensate. Also a bit of a poltergeist of gender transmission and translocation, j/j is pleth *. I call pleth “j forward slash j” since pleth’s name is less nomenclature than address. A pointer toward a place, yet one that is virtual and not entirely dependent upon actual and specific earthly addresses although always informed by the senses.

Flowers # 47

some ONE

decides

and a

color starts —–

the skies are streaked by little hands

there are ornaments displayed

and then, destroyed

a punctuation mark

slips the skin of a

slender girl

who enjoys

water

in each instance of joy

the tomb was broken down into

sybilant vowels

bowls and howls

a band of emerging children

fire on the heads and at

the feet

Flowers and donate if you can

Another April flower! If you enjoy these poems, do donate please at the donate button. I’m in the midst of a lengthy and difficult transition and re-entry back into the Bay Area from Denver, and — I could use it and I do appreciate each and every dollar! In order to continue receiving these visions, from the Poetry Monster above and below, I apparently need a job, though I have stated again and again, that the visions feel like job enough! Even so… I am searching. So — don’t forget your local poet people, who is local to the globe, this earth and planet now. And, thank you!!!

I also want to thank everyone who has donated this month! I have never actively asked before, so it wasn’t easy to do so, but everyone who did send a bit of money, I really thank you from the bottom of my heart! You are all super!

Flowers #32

night people

drinking champagne

waddling over to watch

a million criminal flowers

purple and bruised

Flowers Again

Winding down here on NaPoWriMo, I’ve been doing many poetry related things, which I will report on in time. Here, my ongoing poem – Flowers, one poem for every shot of T I have taken so far. That means I have over 570 flowers to write!

Flowers #34

in order to understand

flowers we have to consider

loss

we have to consider

joy

the white flat background

a passage

an escalating sobriety —

Flowers #29

so we must stop dreaming with our eyes open and cast our lot with

muscle cars, with red balloons, with action heroes

the dreams must stop adrenaline

subsides as our glands retreat

the old fashioned ligature slips

— digging my way out of the small room I felt enclosed as the air expanded to blue color

doors- opening a tent full of tears

Flowers # 28

fluxus

cool agents of hardcore trajectory annihilation

angels flow to entry and disappearance stiletto satin

floats white bird evaporation blue steel

portraits bing bang

Here’s a poem, first up for NaPoWriMo and part of the larger, “Flowers” series…

Flowers #24

extinguish the mortal

petals — longing

for a life living –beyond

this one short as a dime

held up by cones and short rods

short at the shore

the alabaster demon nude as language

with hips that swivel

Max Wolf Valerio (c) April 1, 2014
