Check out PMR's new site design—for more info on this very necessary project, click here. Perpetual Motion Roadshow #33, May 19-26 features Emerson Dameron, Tanis Rideout and Snoovy.
 Emerson Dameron serves as editor and sole contributor for the zine Wherewithal. He also contributes to the2ndhand, Zine World: A Reader's Guide to the Underground Press, Dusted Magazine, The Machine and other magazines and websites. On Wednesday nights, he hosts a show on WLUW-FM. With the rest of the Diatribe Media family, he organizes small-press events in Chicago. With Nell Taylor, he co-founded the Chicago Underground Library, which you should ask him about. He fancies himself a comedian, though accounts vary. He is an ordained minister and performs weddings at reasonable rates. He maintains a skeletal online presence here.
Tanis Rideout's first appearance was in a foreign story line (Unclear Origins, issue #8), which took her through Tai Chi Ch'uan poetry training around the globe. Never a master of secret identity, she took refuge from the world to master control of language and rhythm (see The Lost Years, issue #4). During that time she learned to wield words with ninja-like precision. She emerged from seclusion to join the Justice League of Poets (Northern Stories, issues #63-on). Current plotlines leave our hero seeking to balance her search for poetic justice with daily existence (The Continuing Adventures of Po' It Girl). Online here. |

A Signal to Noise production devised, written and performed by Chris Goode
Live at 63 All Saints Street,
Old Town, Hastings
Saturday 20 May, 7.30pm
Click here for directions & map
 We Must Perform A Quirkafleeg! is a theatrical mixtape of stories, images and ideas. There’s no plot and no pretending. Just an unrepeatable encounter…
No two shows are the same. Each performance is shaped by the particular characteristics of the home in which it’s happening, and the content determined partly by the random interventions of an iPod set to ‘shuffle’. Fresh material is integrated to reflect current events or incorporate new ideas over the 10-week run.
It’s an epic adventure for the imagination, presented in the intimate, quietly magical, lower-than-lo fi style for which writer/performer Chris Goode is known.
This performance in Hastings, hosted by Ken and Elaine Edwards, is the last of the run, and places are extremely limited. To book your place, please phone 01424 431271 or email

A reminder about the second installment of the Test Reading Series via Mark Truscott.
Margaret Christakos and Brian Joseph Davis on April 26, 7:30 p.m. at the Mercer Union, a Centre for Contemporary Art, 37 Lisgar Street, Toronto.
Pay-what-you-can ($5 recommended), all of which benefits the readers (Test acknowledges the support of the Toronto Arts Council and the League of Canadian Poets for Margaret Christakos's reading.)
And as if that's not enough, you can thrill to the visual stylings of Karen Azoulay's the Evening Canopy and the Sunset Hour and Brian Joseph Davis's new participatory-audio-intervention-slo-jam, Yesterduh. |

An update from Loose Teeth Press on Joey Comeau's hugely successful Lockpick Pornography. The proofs for the second run of Lockpick Pornography are back from the printer. If you don’t know what’s up with this book, check out this review:
It’s impossible to talk about a book like Joey Comeau’s Lockpick Pornography without first considering the way things like terror, gender, family values, and even the publishing industry are currently constructed, because every page in this grenade of a novel is written to blow them to bits. Everything is fair game to be smashed and reconstituted, from the boundaries of gender to the proper way to handle a closed door.
This tiny spitfire also manages in turn to be funny, awkward and tender, all strung together with explicit, cover-your-kid’s-eyes sex and violence.

The Australian poet Robert Adamson will be visiting the U.S. this month and next for the first time, giving readings in support of his new book from Flood Editions, The Goldfinches of Baghdad.
Adamson is one of Australia's leading poets, and is a successful writer, editor and publisher. His books have been published in the UK and the USA and his poems have been translated into several languages. He has published fifteen volumes of poetry and has organised and produced poetry readings, delivered papers, lectures and readings at literary festivals throughout Australia and internationally. He has long been recognized as one of Australia's major poets, from his early writing as a poet maudit in Sydney through twenty books of verse and prose. In more recent work, he has explored the landscape of the Hawkesbury River, sounding its waters and wildlife for psychological resonances.
