You might be able to ball, but can you fight? Dunk Lords is a two-on-two basketball beat 'em up featuring over-the-top special moves, devastating dunks, and game-changing equipment. Choose from 20 of the baddest ballers around, each with unique special attacks and abilities, and do battle on a variety of hazard-filled courts. Gain the upper hand as you slam opponents with Slice's powerful digital blast, or trap players in grandma's jam jar as Frank the strawberry. But to keep the beatings going, you'll need to earn more special attacks through high-flying dunks or confidence-smashing rejections. Score from shot pads on the court to rack up additional bonuses such as money, extra points, and more. Mega shot pads even allow players to grow to an enormous size and dunk through the ceiling. Still not powerful enough? Players can also purchase equipment that increase their abilities. Imagine lacing up shoes that let you dunk from anywhere inside the three point line, suiting up in magnetic armor that pulls loose balls your way, or slipping on spooky gloves and shooting ghostly shots that can’t be blocked.

Cardboard

by Joseph Davidson When I was young, Calvin and his tiger taught me a cardboard box could be a time machine. It didn’t work for me. Angry, I piled up those books and burned them. As I turned thirty, life fell apart. My love left. My dog died. No job. I found myself with a Sharpie, scrawling TIME MACHINE on the side of another cardboard box. I hopped in. Closed my eyes. BANG! There I was, staring at a younger me, matches in hand above the comics. I took them from him with a conspiratorial wink. Maybe thirty won’t be so bad now. Author bio: Joseph is the Assistant Director of Storyfort in Boise, Idaho. When he's not working with Storyfort he's either working on finishing his Creative Writing degree at Boise State University or being the head honcho over at Procyon Creatives. His work has appeared in 101 Fiction and From Whispers to Roars.

Storyfort-Adaptable

Treefort Music Fest hosts not only music but several forts including Storyfort. This is where you'll find authors, poets, journalists, spoken word poets and artists, storytellers and much more. Authors, poets and storytellers share their writing and compelling stories with captive audiences. We caught up with Catherine Kyle, an award-winning writer, teacher, and scholar who spoke at a Storyfort event titled: Telling It Strange — Fabulism, Fairy Tales, and Weird Worlds.

One piece that caught our attention is titled Adaptable. Kyle offers some insight into the poem by saying,

"I take public transit a lot and have had several men harass me on buses and in subways. Once, when I was younger, I had a man sit down next to me and rest his hand on my upper thigh, completely unabashedly, for the entire ride. I've had men yell at me because they mistook my politeness for flirting. I've had men ask if they can touch me or, like in the thigh example, just touch me. This is not uncommon. It's happened in every city I've lived in.

I know people who use headphones or earbuds to try to ward off that kind of attention, and that's a tactic I've tried, though it doesn't always work. Basically, this poem is about the exhaustion I feel when I'm simply trying to get from point A to point B and I have to constantly monitor myself and my surroundings. It's exhausting to always be on guard, it's exhausting to live in a world where harassment and sexual assault are commonplace, and it's exhausting to not be able to move through public spaces in peace. Luckily, we're starting to talk about it more, so hopefully, things will begin to change."

Adaptable

What grows in a city: adaptable gardens

and determined weeds. Verdant manes

erupting from the shelves of old concrete. Like

this, we leave apartments and conveyor

down the streets. We guard our bodies

closely, like, Wands up, earbuds in. Press

our lips together, our majestic resting bitch face.

Know that if we don’t talk, it might not be

you. It might be that one guy glanced

our bare thighs when we did. Know that

if we don’t grin, it might be

we don’t want to. It might be that one

guy who screamed, But you were flirting. When

all we did was smile and turn

down his pick-up line. Things that we have

Googled: Shirt that says “Don’t talk to me.”

Things that we have Googled: I feel like screaming

all of the time. Things that we have Googled:

Does this count? Does that count? Things that we

have Googled: Discount resources for grief.

after the rain here in the desert, the crows all have sticks in their mouths, and i still have love zoinking in my head for the last 5 days at Treefort Music Fest 2017 / Storyfort in boise!!! so many thanks to Diana Forgione and Dig Reeder for having me up, and to all the glorious weirdos involved with the Death Rattle Writers Festival who are building something so meaningful up there in ~treasure valley~ and shoutouts to Griffin Rae Birdsong and Ameerah Bader for their fantastic poems and listening stances at Storyfort: Death in the Afternoon, which was dig's wacky idea that i was afraid of but came into bloom so movingly thanks to dig's dedication and esp. esp. esp. the musical stylings of toap doge Brett Nicholas Hawkins /// wowzers bretty, you scoundrel, and also we dance like exactly alike many thumbs way up to the trees for treefort, truly one of the best festivals i've ever been to, not the least of which because of Christian A. Winn's storyfort crew and collaborators and because i happened to see Bhanu Kapil, Jonathan Richman, Tele Novella, Thick Business, Sun Blood Stories, Lizzo, Open Mike Eagle, Kate Tempest, Western Daughter, Izaak Opatz, With Child, and moreee all in the same goshdarn poutine mound goodbye to this flurry of enthusiastic tags with one last one for Daphne Stanford who was kind enough to have me on "The Poetry Show!" on Radio Boise ///// i didn't say anything ~~that stupid~~ except i did say jeff tweedy was unattractive, which in the fraught apocalypse descent of 2017 seems relatively mild

disclosure // discharge

I was hoping

  that as a mother I wouldn't have time to worry about my adrenal glands. But here I am pumping & writing the blog post I've been avoiding writing about anxiety while sipping apple cider vinegar water instead of the second cup of coffee I really want because it would help me focus on writing these intros for Storyfort. 

  But, the urge to clear the queue. To introduce is to give an audience a way into the poems & lately all poems read to me like digitized home videos. I can't see though the pixel layer

  and I can't tell whether I'm actually stupid and incapable of experiencing the poem or just tired and incapable of being a good reader of the poems & people around me because mommy brain which science says is real! 

  But, a familiar feeling: after I'd perform in musicals in high school I'd feel alienated from the rest of the cast. I felt like I didn't know how to interact with them, like I was uninvited and unwanted like I was cast only because I was pitied. I needed to hear that I was good to disprove my pitied theory but what kids knew or cared about that? 

  If I had known to call this "anxiety" would it have changed my past? 

  (How recently I've looked for books on social skills for adults!)

  But, in Ban en Banlieue, Bhanu Kapil quotes Petra Kuppers: "I am not interested in disclosure. I am interested in discharge."

  "I'm sorry," said Petra Kuppers, "but I'm not interested in your story. I'm not interested in where you are from."

  Of course, A. sent this to all the G&P folks before I read Ban en Banlieue because Petra Kuppers is going to be in Boise in April & while this accidentally makes us curatorial geniuses it also makes me nervous

  because maybe I read too many novels when I was young so I care about the backstory too much. Discharge makes me nervous. I'm most interested in disclosure — the stories we tell about ourselves & to ourselves to explain who we are. 

  They serve as an apology for our discharges without having to apologize or cop up to a paralyzing amount of shame

  Like, I'm ashamed that all I write about is the terrain of my emotional experience. 

  "How to be a person..." is my only interest.

  Is this blog discharge or disclosure? Or is this an unhelpful dichotomy? Why am I borrowing a binarism from such a small slice of Ban en Banlieue? Why do I care what Petra Kuppers thinks of me? 

Alas, I have to put my body in front of people tomorrow. I have to open my slow mouth. Anxiety makes me such a narcissist. It inhibits discharge — the more anxious I feel, the less milk my body makes

the less milk I make, the less I am capable of nurturing an other (the other, the baby who was once me...)

& the less I write & react, even disclose.

I’ll probably just read their bios.
