My Name Is Mud / Drew Kalbach / Richard Wehrenberg Jr.

A poem I wrote is up at My Name Is Mud.

Two new things are posted at PANGUR BAN PARTY:

• NATIONAL MOVEMENT by Drew Kalbach.


• BIGFOOT by Richard Wehrenberg Jr.

I hope that you read and love all of those things.

I ordered THE SELF-ESTEEM HOLOCAUST COMES HOME the second that I saw it on Sam Pink's blog, but then he told me through Gmail chat that the Amazon edition was messed up and he would send me a new one. I am excited to read that. I love anything by Sam Pink (including his piece that I read in the MLP Anthology 1 that I just read and loved and think you should order right now by clicking here).

Orientation By Jordan Castro / Promotional Video He Made / Meeting Ana Carrete

There is a new piece of short fiction on PANGUR BAN PARTY. It is Orientation by Jordan Castro. Give it a read. Enjoy it. Leave some comments.

Here is his promotional video:



I was San Diego last week for work and I met Ana Carrete. She was late. She drank two Stella Atrois beers. I gave her a PANGUR BAN PARTY card and the waitress looked at it and said, "Cool card. I like the wolf!" We played Kelly Clarkson on a jukebox. We walked around San Diego and she said she felt drunk and I told her to do jumping jacks. I beat her in jumping jacks 5-0. I tried on a leather jacket in a thrift store but Ana was afraid to go in because she thought the store clerk would ask if we needed assistance. We walked around some more. Later, she got in her car and left.

Cat Sitting / Joint Poem With David Fishkind

Read/comment/enjoy Cat Sitting by Frank Hinton, now on PANGUR BAN PARTY.

Since PANGUR BAN PARTY is now focusing on chapbooks, I will be stricter with what e-books become published on the site. If you really want an e-book, please read the submission guidelines and other PANGUR BAN PARTY e-books to see what I am looking for.

David Fishkind and I wrote a compilation poem today. Here it is:


i will be dead soon.
please publish my memoir
post-humously.
call it 'fucking gay shit',
and make it consist
only of this paragraph.

PANGUR BAN PARTY Now Accepting Chapbook Manuscripts

PANGUR BAN PARTY is in full-on chapbook mania mode. The second anthology chapbook is slated to release around mid-December. I plan on making vast improvements to the quality of this chapbook as compared to the previous anthology chapbook. The quality of the paper will be much better than it was the first time around, and there will be a cover page made from heavy paper. It will have a nice cover image and everything.

PANGUR BAN PARTY is now accepting chapbook manuscript submissions. I don't have strict submission guidelines, but it should be 20-25 chapbook pages, poetry or short fiction pieces. E-mail submissions to deejberndt@gmail.com as an attached file or in the body. I am not picky. Again, the quality of the chapbook will be higher than my previous chapbook. It will be close to the quality of a Greying Ghost chapbook.

EDIT: To clarify, I am currently accepting submissions for:

• PANGUR BAN PARTY e-books


• PANGUR BAN PARTY anthology print


• PANGUR BAN PARTY chapbooks
