The Truth of Masks
My name is Joseph. I'm 21 years old. I major in linguistics. I like crows, Soviet history, Cyrillic, books, woodgrain, dulcimers, analog recording, and globes. More about me here.

I Think That…

I should’ve applied to more than two places for graduate school. I can still turn in an application to Fresno by like April or something preposterously late like that, but I’m not sure how I feel about moving across the entire continent. Maybe if I don’t get accepted or scholarshipped by the other places I’ll apply.

I have two poems published in the Fall 2011 issue of Caesura! Pick it up if you’re anywhere near the College of Staten Island. This is the first time I’ve had proper writing published in print (except for an article I did for Weird NJ in like 2005). They’re different poems from those published in Yes, Poetry in September.
If you want a free copy, send your name, address, and comments to request@caesuramag.org. Be sure to mention that you want to see more of my stuff in the future.

I used to have one of those glossy anime magazines with fluffy looking 3d-esque, unofficial depictions of characters on the cover - were they published by Beckett or something like that? - in about 1999 that had a ton of design sketches for hovercraft and scooters and stuff in Dragonball, and the vehicles looked so much like this.
