Future Amnesia: This was formerly a rather ornate hard-bound book which I am breaking up into three chapbooks.  Part 1 is currently available. The Secret Tome (of The Oracle of The Unseen Hand of The Marketplace): These are generally quite fun works that are more geared towards parody and mockery.  The themes are similar to those of Resumé but are rendered in a fun way, (most of the time).  For folks who can't handle massive amounts of weeping bitterness, I recommend this chapbook.  (This is also planned to be a multi-part series.  Parts 1 & 2 are now available and Part 3 is currently in the works.) A Poetry House Built With Four-By-Fours: Much of my other work is a bit too thematic.  So I invented this very square project to insert a bit more of the random element in my work.  The subject matter of these works may be chaos itself, but the form is very rigid.  Each poem consists of four stanzas of four lines each.  (This is a kind of OCD method of attempting to force order on a world utterly resistant to order of any kind.  Warning:  Several more volumes of this stuff may emerge.) Early English Monarchs: This project contains a 14-line poem for each early English monarch from 774AD-1167AD.  Each monarch speaks in the 1st-person and gives us a micro-summary of his or her life. Resumé: This is the definitive classic biography of a whining worker.  Warning:  Resumé may cause side-effects for those still clinging to the theory that postive thinking will work for everyone.  Those who need really badly for Capitalism to work out for them, or those who are currently feeling guilty about how they made out like bandits, may find this work nauseating.  If you're very much invested in this system, this book will make you very unhappy.  (Parts 1 & 2 are now available, with additional tomes of unsavory victimhood still to come.)
