NM Esc's chapbook, Service, is available from Bottlecap Press! America holds its bootstrap myths dear. The dignity of labor, the virtue of meritocracy, the power of a college education to facilitate upward class mobility. Service chronicles a firsthand experience of millennial disillusionment: graduating into a recession & facing how threadbare those myths really are. Service is a prose record of the author’s first two jobs out of undergrad: one at a theater / nightclub, the other at a tobacconist / cigar store, both in Harvard Square. Through anecdotes & reflections, Service chronicles the surreal experience of being a minimum wage worker beside one of the most prestigious universities in the world, in constant contact with the elitist of the elite, as well as tourists, students, runaways, & the local unhoused population. Assembled ten years after the fact, Service is a document of unlearning, as well as the physical & emotional experience of a particular kind of labor. Most of all, Service is a begrudging love letter to a place, a time, & the people who made it bearable…& even fun. Neon Mashurov (NM Esc) is a writer from Brooklyn and the post-Soviet diaspora currently pursuing an MFA at the University of San Diego’s cross-genre writing program. Their music writing, as NM Mashurov, has been published in Pitchfork, Stereogum, The Fader, IMPOSE Magazine, and elsewhere. Their poetry, as NM Esc, has been published or is forthcoming in We Want It All: An Anthology of Radical Trans Poetics, Black Warrior Review, Bombay Gin, Hobart Pulp, The Recluse, the Poetry Project’s House Party series, The Felt, Peach Magazine, Ghost City Press’s summer microchap series, and multiple chapzines. They are the current editor-in-chief of Alchemy, UCSD’s journal of experimental translation. #shortstory #bottlecappress #shortstories #fiction #prose #amwriting #flashfiction #instapoets #writing #smallpress #chapbook #chapbooks #writersofinstagram #writersofig #independent #diy #zine #zines #bookstagram #books #poetrycommunity #writerscommunity #writingcommunity #newbooks #bookclub https://www.instagram.com/bottlecappress/p/CXbuX1xP0L7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Yesterday i got tipped a two dollar bill and my microchap got accepted for publication and i came out as nonbinary to like 6 people on instagram close friends stories. ideal i think

[guatthefuck]

Do you listen to Lana Del Rey? I’m listening to Norman Fucking Rockwell and selecting poems that will go into my first microchap book that I plan on submitting for this contest in December and ‘Fuck it I love you’ really is tonight

A micro book you say? Good luck with the contest! I’ll cross all my fingers and toes for you🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽(not like you need it)

Honestly, I haven’t listened to her much since her first album but I just listened to it and it sounds fitting for the situation and a catchy song too

My microcap “the ghost comes with me” will be part of the Ghost City Press summer chapbook series, which delivers a microchap every day of summer. I subscribed last year & loved it, so you should, too. Its free, but you can donate to the authors or to the press or to both if you feel moved to do so. I am so delighted to have this chapbook that means so much to me in this series.

#001:

things that will happen after the end of the world no one will be around to witness By Wanda Deglane Published by Post Ghost Press, 2018 Etsy link here

This poem, like Post Ghost Press’ other published works, is a microchap. The whole thing is printed on one sheet of paper, minizine-style. I love the aesthetic of the zine, the gloss of the printing, the illustrations. It’s well-made.

The poem is exactly what the title says: post-apocalyptic events that are lonely from the lack of human presence. The reader may find it comforting that planet itself survived whatever it is that got rid of the people; the end of the world doesn’t mean the end of the world (so to speak). The poem itself is full of intriguing images described in few words.

I highly recommend reading this if you get the chance.

from last friday night’s reading :: kearny st workshop presents—mourn you better: feelings from the queer taiwanese & chinese diaspora. 

(1) kazumi emceeing with heart & grace & mighty projection (2) yujane chen reading poems exploring migration & gender & law & naming—from a microchap printed just for this event (3) kristin chang reading new poems, including one inspired by the chinese woman who threw coins into a jet engine for good luck [thanks to muriel leung for this pic; i was so entranced by kristin’s reading that i could not pick up my phone apparently]. (4) muriel leung reading poetic essays citing wong kar-wai & the work of bees. (5) me reading mostly new poems mhm including some letters to friends who were in the audience!! [thanks to emily chen for this pic]. 

what a good & gorgeous dream, to be a part of this reading. mega thanks to michelle, kazumi, jason, all the volunteers at ksw, jenn for the dumplings & conversation, monica for the laughter & truth, everyone who came. growing up, i never imagined this kind of reading could happen. now my imagination is growing, & my reality. love to queer asians, queer asian love to us.

June Update

Dream-Like Houses was release on June 1st. All my gratitude and love and thanks to everyone who has been reading, sharing, and supporting Ghost City Press’ Summer Microchap Series! 

Additional thanks to CJ Eggett for writing a little bit about DLH in his TinyLetter. It’s absolutely fascinating to see your work through someone else’s eyes, and to see what translates over the most. Thanks for the observant examination of DLH.

Thanks also goes to Jasmine Cui for reading and sharing the chapbook online, and also for creating this beautiful quote graphic for one of them poems. So thankful and lucky for everyone’s support and time and eyes.

In additional news, I’m starting a TinyLetter where I’ll be talking about surreal art, science, poetry, fiction, and whatever else is on my mind these days. You can subscribe to it here. That’s all for now. Until next time, whenever that may be. :)
