happy #smallpoemsunday! 💜 feel free to post small poems you’ve written, or ones you love by other poets :) here’s one by my friend @mikeandrelczyk.bsky.social, published this week in Michigan City Review of Books~

I finished this today! What a treat. Need to find a way to finagle this into some kind of blurb, but feel like fans of Sam Lipsyte, and Mike Nagel, and Richard Linklater('s hangout movies, especially) will especially love this!

these are straight up movies. they just happen to be in poem form because I couldn’t pull the funding together to make them conventionally markleidner.substack.com/p/four-poems-that-are-a24-films

You should be excited about @mikeandrelczyk.bsky.social debut novel. I am. Out this summer via @malarkeybooks.bsky.social malarkeybooks.com/store/submar...

Hey friends, Submarines is a blast and you need it in your life.

It’s always a good idea to take Aaron’s literary advice.

lazy morning here and I sat on my couch and read the first half of this, and what a treat. best, fave, most fun "hang out" novel I've read in a while. treat yourself and preorder this rn!

Cover art, title page + two short excerpts from Submarines. A novel about a bellman at a beach hotel, who bets on baseball every day, hallucinates submarines and fucks everything up, but in a chill, fun way. It opens 2 days after Opening Day 2011. malarkeybooks.com/store/submar...

3 baseball poems for a Phillies win: www.hobartpulp.com/web_features...

To celebrate Opening Day, here’s a 2021 story about stealing from Lenny Dykstra and then helping him find a friend. Featuring art from the great @lobotomyrob.bsky.social www.hobartpulp.com/web_features...

Yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Sample page from my novel “Submarines” coming out with Malarkey this summer.

“Endless” is a poem about the longest tennis match in history which is still going on even today court-date.com/strung/endless

We return with two new pieces tomorrow, but before then, make time to read The Bulb Region writer Mike Andrelczyk's (@mikeandrelczyk.bsky.social) timely little poem in @rejectionlit.bsky.social. rejection-letters.com/2020/10/29/f...

“I have studied you for 4,747 nights and still I do not really understand you. I can say I adore your brown eyes.” Three delicious poems by Mike Andrelczyk (@mikeandrelczyk.bsky.social) in The Bulb Region today. bulbregion.com/Three-Poems-...

The world is a mess. Buy books.

Take a gamble on Submarines, an episodic novel about a millennial fuckup in a deadend job who bets on baseball and doesn’t ever know what he’s doing. If you know @mikeandrelczyk.bsky.social you probably don’t need much convincing but trust me it’s good! malarkeybooks.com/store/submar...
