2 EPISTLES FROM THE BOOK OF MATTHEW IN TYGER QUARTERLY ISSUE 12

Two epistles from The Book of Matthew appear in the latest issue of Tyger Quarterly. READ THEM HERE. Thanks to editor S. Yarberry for publishing them alongside stellar company and for forgiving me for addressing them with "Hey Tyger(s)" at one point in the email submission thread. Do you want to watch the video in which David Lynch talks about "dynamic peace" and demonstrates his immaculate handwriting? WELL HERE YOU GO. You should also watch this one in which HE'S COOKING QUINOA. Do I have two words in David Lynch's immaculate handwriting tattooed permanently onto a portion of my body? Yes. The idea that Emily Dickinson disrupts temporality comes from the book Dickinson Unbound: Paper, Process, Poetics by Alexandra Socarides, Oxford University Press, 2012.

As for the other epistle, true story about finding playing cards on the ground during a week-long trip I took to Ohio in, I dunno, like, August 2022. Do they mean something, or do I just like picking up trash? I found one of them in the middle of a forest. The poem also contains language I lifted from my half of multiple correspondences that go all the way back to 2005 and images from dreams I was having at the time I wrote The Book of Matthew. Parts of it are erased.
