Just a quick note to share the release of my latest digital chapbook: Naos Explains Everything Via Crumbs published by Right Hand Pointing.
You may remember the persona, Naos, from my first digital chapbook with RHP, Naos: an introduction.
This time my cursi philosopher Naos (a mix of Aesop, Diogenes, & Walter Mercado) takes his habit of explaining to epic proportions.
Or rather, micro-epic proportions, as his focus is on crumbs.
Here are two excerpts from the sequence:
(ix)
the ant is Atlas under a crumb—
Atlas carries the crumb of the earth—
*
(x)
Poetry as a matter of crumbs:
hinting at the food of experience
from what little
falls behind.
*
Check out the rest of the digital chapbook here.
Happy crumbing!

An absolute joy. Their form reminds me of Ted Hughe’s ‘Crow’ but its bright twin. There is a purity, ingenuity, the simplicity of the crumbs, which articulate & represent so much. Just wonderful.
Thank you so much, Daniel! I appreciate your thoughts on the chapbook, and moved especially that they brought joy, which is hard to come by – much easier to sing the blues, no? I hope you’re well! Abrazos, Jose
