"Global Trumpeter" interview

Here, at this link an interview I did for Global Trumpeter, a digital magazine from Delhi, where I am nothing like as controversial as I can be, for some reason. Horrid picture of me, of course, especially since it was taken before I recently started lifting weights again. 

Anyway, here's my Amazon UK page, where some offers are available. Here's the US Amazon page, with more detail.

 

Fevers of the Mind interview

Thanks to David L. O'Nan for doing the interview linked here with me at Fevers of the Mind.

I endorse this:

"I do not write much about social issues, but I am an antinatalist & vegan. I do not want humans extinct necessarily, just a whole lot less of them. A great deal of what I do mention about society involves things that are vaguely Foucauldian; about biopower, indoctrination, & psychiatric, social, & medical fascism. Nietzsche’s “abyss” quote is about how “progressives” become fascists or worse, while allegedly fighting fascism, & the Foucauldian critique of the allegedly well-meaning “medical” fascism, disciplining unruly bodies, is much more wide-ranging."

& I agree with me about this too:

"I no longer affiliate with humanity, my allegiance lies elsewhere. Becomings-animal, in Deleuze & Guattari’s work, are very inspirational, since they show how a posthuman state can be understood like postmodernism as not a successor state, as “post” implies, but a crisis state or a reversion – the end of philosophy in the pre-Socratics, for Heidegger, while I align more with beasts than people. I am Aries with Mercury & Venus both in Pisces, & moon in Gemini. I’m sure that helps when it comes to writing."

Also include a bit mysteriously missing in interview

"I once did a lot of collaborative work about BDSM, no longer available, but some of the "poems for Emma" series became what Emma described as "deviant pornography." For some reason subs have often been aware from my writing in general that I am a dominant. I do not know how, I suppose most of them are very clever girls."

 

 

Old Stuff

In other irrelevant news, I am very happy to be living where I am at the moment, having all mod cons etc, thanks to my daughter, Jonna, & here I am back home in the country where immigrants perfected pizza in the 1980s, where there's no reason not to drink the tap water, where I have a very smug Morrissey mug for my tea, & where I don't need to worry about wearing one of those goddam chin diapers all the time.

Here is some old work linked from old issues of Gloom Cupboard. I always mean what I say, especially when I don't. Interviews always made me exert myself to be as much of an arrogant cunt as possible, & I'm pretty good at that. 

I am actually writing new work, but it will only come in book form. 

There are ghosts inside me & they all used to be angry, but they are happily murderous now. Whatever one can say about home, the laundry facilities here are fucking awesome.

Very grateful to my daughter & whole family. "Keep your eyeballs white & keep your needle clean," a great man once said, & I would also like to express my huge gratitude to Emma for teaching me how to feel, how to mourn quickly & start to grow my heart back, because no other motherfucker ever got to do that, no other motherfucker ever go to tell me how to think about my life & how to feel about it.
