Here is a new fiction piece of mine in

The pleasures of tracking others’ readerly ardors and ambivalences. Susan Howe, out of “Melville’s Marginalia” (in 1993’s _The Nonconformist's Memorial_):

Rodrigo Toscano — Bennington Review

"These Lands" from upcoming Salvage Nation: 100 sonnets (Winter Editions, 2026). A desire (turned into aim) to capture fleeting moments of life to share them with people of "good will", those striving to not be captured by either propaganda nor by escapism.

I suppose this new piece of mine in @keep-planning.net must be classified as 'experimental fiction', although I like to think of it as the only true example of Kmart realism.

new work from returning Keep Planning contributor Eric T. Racher today, which appropriates a textual form that is surely familiar to orders of magnitude more people than "experimental fiction", and which is certainly unlike anything i've ever published before. do check it out
