Four Poems

"When I think about
her past, I think about space and how both of them make
no sense to me. They are both so big, and I have never slept
in a house that large."
-Gregory Sherl, from "Most of the Things I Have Thought Today"

Read the rest of the poem at PANK!

Most of the Things I Have Thought Today She has so many knots in her hair because we are desperate in our f**king. Maybe desperate is not the right word. Think: necessary. Think: éclat. Think the o...

"I was a series of steps. I was the series of steps by the bridge at the point where the river starts swallowing the ground. I was the river. I swallowed the ground. I was a flood."
-DEATH HUMmer Sasha Fletcher, from "there is a darkness on the edge of town"

Read the whole poem at la fovea!

I kissed my wife and shot my dog last night. After that who knows. After that the sky split open. After that it went to sleep in a hole in the ground. I was up late digging it. I dug it deep. There was a mountain of dirt. I shoved it down my mouth until it filled my lungs and then I didn’t anymore.…

DEAREST LOYAL FACEBOOK DEATH HUMMERZ:

It's been some time now since we had any activity of note. OK, so here's the deal:

1. Staff, reading series and magazine updates have been on hiatus due to personal reasons. It might be contagious, but probably not, so don't worry.

2. Both reading series and magazine updates will return (before the end of the year) with a vengeance!

3. Issue 2 is still for sale. Go to our website. It will be BACK in stock shortly in stores near you. And by "near you" I mean New York City, and if that is not near you, well, I don't want to end my life drowning on an island either (water levels rising, etc, that's what the joke is about, not really funny though because I do in fact live on said island). It has some awesome poets in it. You can just go ahead and take my word for it or you can send us your monies and find out for yourself.

4. DEATH HUMS is not a movie about a deep-voiced oil tycoon. It is a literary magazine. I double-checked this.

5. Issue 3 WILL BE COMING in 2014 AS EXPECTED. Keep your noses to the air, or whatever appendages or senses you care to put to good use, fling around, throw from a plane, etc.

6. MOST IMPORTANTLY (I will post this as a separate situation later this week), DEATH HUMS is seeking an ONLINE EDITOR. What does an ONLINE EDITOR do? An ONLINE EDITOR is responsible for maintaining our website and possibly teaching me how to use wordpress. These are important things. Send resume/cover letter to [email protected].

Lovely, lovely, lovely, you are all lovelies,
