Craig Oare is the Lawrence Ferlinghetti of Olympia poetry- humorous and radical in equal parts, charming and odd, distinct and incredibly well read. His poems are uniquely his own, though, a tongue-in-cheek style so concise that it’s hard to argue with. In his brand new chapbook, he draws on the lives and words of writers, musicians, activists, religious and historical figures from all ages (Charlie Chaplin, Miles Davis, Mary Oliver, Leonard Cohen, and Rachel Corrie, just to name a few) to create a book of poems for anyone who loves nature and Olympia, Wa...[ continued ]

From one of the most intellectual, nerdy, and low budget cult television shows every made, Tyler Hauck chronicles some pretty sincere life lessons. Perhaps showing, in much the same way that MST3K did, that "You don't have to just swallow media," but can use (even the best media) as a jumping off point into some form of greater understanding. Lessons are interspersed with Best and Worst of lists, plenty of stills from the show, and more...[ continued ]
