Bud Smith’s “Love” Broadside
Bud Smith is 30, distracted, sleeps on his right side. He lives in Washington Heights, NYC and has written a collection of short stories called Or Something Like That. His car is on the verge of catching fire, so that’s all he dreams about. Putting the car out before it explodes. He also does heavy construction so if you have something heavy needing construcing, that’d be fine too.

Brian Fugett’s “This Is The Damn Poem” Broadside
Brian Fugett is a member of the slacker, fast food generation that has been branded with an ‘X’ by that Canadian-born, literary terrorist known as Douglas Coupland. Meanwhile, he sits in his pad all day consuming more oxygen than he’s worth. He’s been doing it for over 35 years now and has become quite effecient at it. Eating and voiding are the only things he really knows how to do. Between meals and trips to the shitter, he covertly milks ‘West Nile Virus’ from the tits of pregnant mosquitoes and uses it to butter the toast of local politicians. He is the editor/publisher of Zygote in my Coffee.

The Mothpocalypse. brought to you by The Literary Underground
The mothpocalypse is a gathering of multi-lingual vagabonds, writers and poets- communing like it’s early spring in the middle of fall and making noise while eating pages of history, mythology, science and noise- and spitting out cobwebs of poetry, prose and patented propaganda. The gathering of the wings will take place @ The Harwood Arts Center on 7th & Mountain in Downtown Albuquerque- Nov. 4th, 2012 5-7pm.
