Martin Appleby, sporting a dapper, green mohawk, has taken a cache of poems from our A DEEP & GORGEOUS THIRST - UNABRIDGED AUDIO for his POETRY & PUNK PODCAST. There’s Michael D. Blum talking about white wine and Fascism, and Walevska Perez-Herrera and Pink Floyd, and there’s Rebecca Schumejda talking about waking in a red car. Freddie De La Cruz teaches us about “drunk Christmas,” and we find Joseph Ridgwell narrating for some poor sap at the gas station in his underwear. William Boyle speaks to getting screwed in Hollywood, and Willy Vlautin talks of the naked guy in his buddy’s pool.
For those who don’t now, Martin is the driving force behind Paper and Ink Zine, and is a tireless supporter of small press goodness, all while still being a terrific writer in his own right. So if you’re looking for a taste of what the audio book will sound like, check out the podcast (and all the other stuff Martin gets up to)!
Drunk Poem Animation #4 by Mattia Adorni, Narrated By Willy Vlautin
Leaving the Frontier Restaurant after our interview, Willy Vlautin graciously agreed to record a couple poems for my drunken opus. Yes, writer, musician, and an all-around solid human being — Vlautin reads the last of our animated drunk poems, one about waking to all the dumb joy and redemption following a night gone sideways with booze.
Once again, Mattia Adorni dreamed up another gorgeous piece filled with humor and charm.
*Spoiler Alert: Full Frontal Nudity!
A DEEP & GORGEOUS THIRST - UNABRIDGED AUDIO is available on May 24th, 2020.
