It’s a mistake for you

to writhe in the passenger

seat before your irises

blaze anger and you dart . . .

  foreplay
Well, friends, another issue of The Hold has arrived, albeit a little later than expected.  LOTS of new faces, lots of familiar ones.  This is a pretty fucking big issue, let me tell you! 

Which is good, because it's going to be the last one for a while.  Yes, dear friends, I'm throwing in the towel.  Any of you who already publish things like this know what a massive time committment it requires, and I just don't have that kind of time free.  I don't know how Cait managed it, but it's become painfully clear that she was super-human.  For more details and whining, click here.

What's going on?

Jonathan Hayes
has teamed up with photographer Bill Nolan to give us something very intriguing.

ron androla and John Korn
have done something similar, but completely independently!  The stars must have been aligned this summer. 

Jayne Lyn Stahl
wants to announce a panel discussion entitled “Writers of the Storm:  Fake News, and Public Decency, in the Age of Terror” on Sept. 28th in Berkeley.  Click here for details.

Cat Townsend
gives us a review of Mark Hartenbach's "beneath the valley of the blue-eyed boys".

Harry Wilkens
sent in what looks like the full manuscript of a chapbook, and it is GOOD. 

Debbie Kirk
got tired of stalking, and has moved on to detailing the lives and times of, well, common dimestore whores and addicts.

Thomas Vaultonburg
seems to have lost something important in his third poem.

t.k. splake
tells us the story of the "Cait Tree", and has included a nice photo.
