The November 2023 Issues of the Poetic Express

December 31, 2023

Here’s last month’s issues of the POETIC EXPRESS. This year’s been another difficult one. It wasn’t all that bad for me personally, but the politics, the wars and the environmental issues all have me on edge. I can get really upset about it, but that does little good. It’s not easy to stay sane and balanced in a crazy and off-kilter world. Don’t panic, just try to take constructive and sensible action. Be aware!

Back issues of the Poetic Express are on my digital archive at the University of Detroit Mercy. These include all issues from April 1985 to December 2016.

Jennifer Gariepy and I have been recording new puppet shows since the Summer 0f 2020. We’ve recorded over a hundred shows now. Here’s a new episode which wishes everyone a happy New Year’s Eve and all best for 2024.

The October 2023 Issues of the Poetic Express

December 12, 2023

Here’s “Mauricent” issues of the POETIC EXPRESS. The November and December issues should appear soon. I’m still writing and drawing the year-end pages.

This year’s been a wild ride. It wasn’t extremely rough for me personally, but as a citizen of the world and yet another member of the problem species, it’s pretty daunting. What about the future anyway? I’m living in a science fiction movie but it’s not the one that I dreamed about or hoped for, back in the 20th century.

Back issues of the Poetic Express are on my digital archive at the University of Detroit Mercy. These include all issues from April 1985 to December 2016.

Here’s a separate version of the October 2023 SURREAL THEATRE:

Jennifer Gariepy and I have been recording new puppet shows since the Summer 0f 2020. We’ve recorded 104 shows now. 96 are up for public viewing. We hope to record a few more in 2023. Here’s another recent and previously unseen episode from last month, November 2023. The old man of the mountain sings yet another “new version” of his theme song. It also includes special appearances from the talking sandwich, a hipster-bird, a patchwork dragon and the little pink person.
