Praise for Ten Poems/Ampesands

• Book Description: Ten Poems about East Asia and Kitsch Nebula Ampersands And by Ralph-Michael Chiaia is a book of experimental poems, some of which were published online. Many are brand new. This book has the simple charm of a haiku mixed with the rant of a Ginsberg poem. Those familiar with Chiaia’s work know that his minimal approach speaks in loud primal bass notes. In his first collection of poetry he has sat in with a string quartet and rocked it through stacked Bose speakers.

Ten Poems about East Asia

I have had Ten Poems about East Asia published in Cerebral Catalyst online. The eleventh poem found its way to page 99 of Zygote in my Coffee's Fourth Print Edition, which you can buy at the website: zygote bookstore.

Please support me and the other poets and fictionists who do their thing inside the book. Zygote always puts out a nice book, so I'm happy to be a part of it with the other anarchists and mad-men and -women.

Glyphic is a Semi-Finalist

Glyphic was a semi-finalist in the Elixir Press Seventh Annual Poetry Awards. There were more than 500 manuscripts. Please see the Prologue from Glyphic published at Zygote in My Coffee last year. For more of my novella-in-verse please contact me.

Publishing History

Ra Gabriel

I would like to recommend fellow poet Ra Gabriel. I am a big fan of his cutting work. He seems to express the whole universe in a comma, the history of time in a letter, and the blackness of the heart in a phrase. Check it out for yourself.
