If you're not sick of me yet, here's the second of my micros published by the great people at @yourimpossiblevoice.com. It's a love story between a polar bear and a cow. yourimpossiblevoice.com/today-at-the...

my pitbull is basically a bowling ball fur--including his brain. which apparently means that he's also impervious to a copperhead bite (though I would not recommend)

Woke up to Puppy standing above me straddling my head. Thought to myself: Life could be better. But also: Could be a lot worse. If this is the scale that determines happiness then: On one hand Puppy could be pissing all over my face. On the other hand Puppy could be humping my brains out.

This post about the book of job got blocked, so basically bsky just blocked the bible for being triggering about suicide when in fact the book of job is propaganda that's supposed to stop christians from killing themselves, so posting this again out of protest and solidarity and as an effff uuu...

So incredibly grateful to the great Gabriel Welsch
for this kind and incredibly astute review and for the folks at the great Heavy Feather Review for publishing it. DM me if you'd like a copy to check out yourself. heavyfeatherreview.org/2024/10/28/h...

Hey all my Minneapolis peoples: coming at you this Fri to do my spoken word shit at a realass punk show at the Cloudland Theater. Check me out trying not to completely embarrass myself between dopeass sets by Night Jobs, The Rafters, & Tight Whips.

Hey y'all. Please check out this itty-bitty parable I wrote called "THE PARABLE OF THE SAD WINDOW MAN BEGINS WITH WORK." This is as close to a happy ending as I come. dumbopress.com/flash/29

Not sure how I became obsessed with Swayze, but I know I'm now very grateful for falling down the rabbit hole. My new chapbook: IN PRAYZE OF THE SWAYZE comes out 09.20 with Alien Buddha Press. As somebody says in his doc, his mother didn't raise Patrick to be a dancer, she raised him to be a god.

Been writing a lot of list stories of late, mostly because that's how my brain works, randomly bopping around. I'd be supremely grateful/indebted if you'd take a minute to read through this little flashy published by the brilliant folks over at @nydumbo dumbopress.com/flash/28

Thanks so much to one of my favorite out there,
@maudlavin.bsky.social and to another favorite @rfpress.bsky.social
for this uber kind and thoughtful review of HONKY. roifaineantpress.com/post/review-...

Spread the word, yo: HONKY comes out TOMORROW with @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social. Here's what the genius @lelandcheuk.bsky.social said: "Drevlow’s work alternates between the crude, the touching, and the hilarious. If it were up to me, I’d name Drevlow the poet laureate of Northernass Wisconsin."
August 12, 2024 at 2:31 PM
Spread the word: HONKY, my collection of connected short stories about a redneck farm kid/wannabe baller/shot-caller will be out early next week. Stay tuned. @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social
August 6, 2024 at 3:38 PM
Hey all got a book of linked stories coming out in Aug called HONKY full of my typical self-deprecation but also about being white & idolizing black athletes/rappers so it's a bit trickier as a pitch. If anybody's willing to do a review/interview/hatchet job, DM me. I'd be crazy grateful.

"When you’re battling addiction, they teach you not to live in your war stories because they feed the worst parts of ourselves. I’ve never walked the twelve steps so it became easier to live in the worst of it than work to get out of it." -David Barker mrbullbull.com/newbull/crea...

"Life is a hollow horse, but riding it hurts. I’ve considered other ways of living, but I’ve grown accustomed to the junk mail. It reminds me that although I’ve been nudged to the margins, I’m still part of the world." - Salvatore Difalco mrbullbull.com/newbull/fict...

In lieu of watching Jake Gyllenhaal/Conor McGregor spit on the sacred dirt of Patrick Swayze's legend, do yourself a favor & read why the original Road House was brilliant (and then watch the original): houseofvladpress.com/sweet-trash (third story down)
