The Viral Lease, by Mathias Svalina (me)

My new chapbook, The Viral Lease is now available from Small Anchor Press.

It's the first section of a book-length poem. Each copy has a unique image from Jon Pack, my favorite photographer in the whole wide world.



Someone who would like you to buy it (Small Anchor Press) said this about it:

A breathtaking meditation on the last eight years' bitter experience, The Viral Lease is seamless and surprising, a work of sincere transmission that is one part catharsis and several parts a grotesque relay of facts that serve as a warning sign: much damage at home yet to be undone.

Some group of people on Wikipedia said this about Darryl Strawberry:

Darryl Eugene Strawberry (born March 12, 1962) is a former baseball player who is well-known both for his play on the baseball field and for his controversial behavior off of it. He was born to Monica and Michael Strawberry and lived a middle-class suburban life with his family.

Right now there are lots of police helicopters flying back & forth across my neighborhood. I can only assume that bad things are going down.
