I used to entertain the idea that I was vaguely a kind of musician, but I've not really made music for a few years now. What I did make and release under the name of Novak is available here. Should be free - novaknoise.bandcamp.com/music

Novak is Kenny Mooney.

New ACTION BOOKS coming this April: • Spanish poet Antonio Gamoneda's Burn the Losses • Palestinian poet Ghayath Almadhoun's searing I Have Brought You A Severed Hand • W & E, ML Martin's "refracted" translation of medieval poem Wulf and Eadwacer Let me know if you are interested in reviewing!
no matter how many times I host these readings, I always get anxiety 48 hours before showtime, worried no one will attend, so please help calm my nerves & spread the word

Bill Knott’s The Naomi Poems is astonishing & I am glad that Black Ocean has brought it back into print.
Don’t forget you can listen to my podcast on YouTube now. Which might be a good place for people who like me talking about books to be tuned into this year.

Pittsburgh friends--I'm going to be reading on March 15 for the release of Meghan Lamb's MIRROR TRANSLATION. It will be the first time, apparently, @robertkloss.bsky.social and I have ever been in the same room. 7pm / March 15 / 222 Ormsby / Pittsburgh
The new @robertkloss.bsky.social novel The Genocide House is fucking brutal, in the best way. Like, if an early Swans album were a book. Damn.
