A Deep & Gorgeous Thirst

[bospress.net]

I have to confess. That is not Hosho up there. Of course he is not Asian. He is from Italy. Don;t let the Irish surname fool you. Here he is with a woman who wants to remain anonymous.

He left the bar that day and headed to a local amusement park (he LOVED riding rollercoasters once) and the rest is the stuff of legends.

Bill

and yes, Hosho is also very tiny, which is why the book looks SO large...

 

[Hosh]

Goddamn you, Bill. You did promise not to post picture of me until when I am dead!

I will now make 100 piece of toast with delicious I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!™ and try to figure out how I can get my revenge...

Reap it, you son of bitch!

 

[Hosh]

All next week -- and opportunity to interact with the book via multiple social media to potential win great prizes via a contest link...who loves ya, baby? (seriously, I hope one of you wins the free stuff!)

A quality Q&A with writer, and all around terrific human being Lori Jakiela.

In the works: an AUDIO BOOK and an EBOOK -- just in case you're in the market for either. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programing.

Are you reading the audio book? I've been dipping my toes into those waters myself, but doing a long book is a chore. Amazon has a good audio book network that dovetails with the kdp ebook thing.

Damn you Mr. McCreesh. At my desk at work and I want nothing less than a strong drink and a heaping plate of fried food. Tonight? Beers and vodka&fruitjuice. All assuming I get the boys to bed at a reasonable hour.... ;)

As with the I AM HOSHO MCCREESH T-Shirts, there will hopefully be many, many voices recording poems (of which mine will be one). Anyone interested in helping (and who has a decent mic set-up to make MP3s) can PM me here. I figure a bunch of people reading 5 - 10 poems a piece. I'm not sure how we'll put it out, but I'll send your suggestion to ADP HQ and see what the boss says. Much thanks man.

I second the motion, sir. When I say "Moscow," you say, "Mule." Moscow...

 

[PhillyDave]

Mule! Boys are getting their pj's on. I've had one beer and a plate of popcorn shrimp for dinner. Let the nonsense begin!

 

[Hosh]

Monday = Moscow Mule, Moscow Mule, & a Guinness.

Goddamn school nights...

 

[PhillyDave]

Monday: beers and vodka&juice.
Tuesday: a shot of vodka and $2 IPA's.
Wendsday: broke and hungover. o_0o

Livin' la vida Drunkskull!

 

[LickTheStar]

Sold about ten copies thus far at work. Slow going, but... that's poetry in a big box bookstore.

 

[Hosh]

Ten copies of a book of small press poetry title in ANY store is like selling a thousand copies of Snooki's autobiography! You're crushing it!

 

[jddougher]

I must be too drunk, but I can't figure out how to access your work.

 

[Hosh]

When you're sober, give this a try!

[Hosh]

How do you say "Badass" in French?

 

[Black Swan]

That is a hard one to translate. We would say "écoeurant", as in sickening. :DD
One from Incheon Airport, Seoul and the other from Yokohama, Japan!

My son Exan, happy as a clam, after reading A Deep and Gorgeous Thirst :DD, in Vancouver B.C.

 

[Hosh]

In the ever-exhausting effort to compete with Amazon...our direct-from-press price has dropped. For the drunk who has everything...http://artisticallydeclined.net/poetry/a-deep-gorgeous-thirst/

 

[BUKFAN78]

Know I'm coming to this party obscenely late, but much congrats Hosh!

 

[Hosh]

Cheers. Better late than never!

 

[BUKFAN78]

@Hosh yeah, I'm the last one to everything. For years I kept building up my cassette tape collection knowing that new fangled CD fad would never catch on. Eternally behind the times, haha!

 

[Hosh]

As a guy who (sometimes) still uses a typerwriter...I feel your pain.

 

[BUKFAN78]

Thanks Hosh, yeah I still got an old typer as well that I use from time to time. Along with a rebuilt dinosaur of a computer that I got from a computer show 17 years ago. When it's running the room sounds like a sheet metal factory at work, haha!

 

[Hosh]

The upshot? It probably doubles as a space heater.

 

[BUKFAN78]

Would be hard pressed to find someone as behind the times as me, excluding hoarders of cabbage patch dolls and those historical re-enactment people in straw skivvies.

 

[Hosh]

Well, times being what they are -- maybe being left behind by them is a good.
