Midge getting drunk and spouting off in Russian

Lenny blinks owlishly at the love of his life as she rants and raves in what he thinks might be Russian. "Midge. Sweetheart, I cant-"

"She says that Joel can get hit by a truck for all she cares, the way he treats her these days, she hopes he drops dead during sex, but not sex with Mei, because Midge likes Mei, but with most anyone else is fine."

Lenny stares at Susie after she finishes translating. "How did you-"

"Nother drink?" Susie grins. "You need another drink. We all need another fucking drink."

"Nostrovia!" Midge cries, and downs another shot.

Update on the Testament climb, it took me until embarrassingly recently to realize you can input the command for Nostrovia (or Calamity One, in theory) during the recovery frames of Testament's 6HS. Time to jumpscare people trying to punish a whiffed 6HS with Test's two weed smoking succubus friends.

I need to take the edge off, tumblr I'm having a drink. . . Or a couple. Because I can't just lay in bed grinding and humping away any more. So head up this could get way worse or way better depending on your expectations.

Prost!

Salud!

Cheers!

Nostrovia!

2017 Chapbook Contest: Week 1 Review

Weekly Reviews Resume

Hi everyone! Last year I tried to write a little blog post each week on the Nostrovia! Tavern, providing an inside look at the contest as we read, judge, edit, and design the chapbooks these next few months. People really seemed to like these, so I’m trying to have a new Tavern post each Wednesday--stay tuned for more updates!

Opening the Floodgates 

Friends! We’d like to extend a tremendous thank you to everyone who submitted their work to our third yearly chapbook contest!! Though we were blown away last year to see 102 submissions in our inbox, this year’s contest brought 127 MSS--we are very thankful for your support and participation! 

Jeremiah and I had wanted to play around with the timeline for the contest, as people were starting to get used to our March call ;) So we pushed everything back a month, here to April! Just as Friday evening reached midnight, we updated the website and posted the initial news. By the end of Saturday, we had 52 submissions. The following day we received the remaining 75! And as of Monday, every chapbook has been loaded into our managing page, ready for Jeremiah and me to start reading, rereading, and commenting.

Much love, and see you next week! <3 -Christopher

We’ll have a new Tavern post each Wednesday, giving an inside look at the N! process, so stay tuned for more updates!

Loathe/Love/Lathe by Alain Ginsberg Nostrovia! Press — Free (PDF) or Pay What You Can ($1+) (Print) Poetry (Chapbook)

As a poet, Alain Ginsberg is resourceful with language and imagery, finding metaphor and anecdote where the reader had previously thought language had already dredged all it could out of that instance; as a vocally transgender poet, Alain Ginsberg is a poignantly necessary voice. There is often a lot of talk in literary communities about what makes a "trans poem" a "trans poem," and while the majority of Alain's poems mention they are trans somewhere within the text, there is never a sense of force or plea; rather, while Alain's gender is influential in all aspects of their work, it does not define their work. Alain's work is instead profoundly influenced by the daunting task of humanizing and unraveling trauma, from abusive relationships to harassment by customers at their food-service job, and throughout their narrative, Alain never lies to their audience or sugarcoats the circumstance. Instead, Alain presents their truth unflinchingly, letting the audience know they've got some heavy shit to talk about, but it's our choice if we want to listen. And goddamn, I am positive y'all will want to listen. (Linette Reeman)
