Stand The Moon On Its Side

from Mike Mahoney

Prose poems typewritten April 2015 to February 2016.
239 pages.

The second in a series of essays, experiments, explorations & expositions at the typewriter at all hours & spaces in all states of mind.

"as with its companion, 'When Galaxies Collide', all of the poems in this book were composed in one pass at the typewriter -- a 1923 Underwood -- with very little editing afterward as i retyped them into the computer. they would not exist if i had not discovered a few of John Olson's books by chance in Farley's Bookshop in New Hope, PA, and are directly inspired by his writing. thank you, John, for showing me the beauty and courage in trusting my own mind."


"...There is no more couragous act than to create with the intent of allowing the creative act itself to be its own genesis. It is a freefall through inner space in which universal energy takes form in ideas and gives us buoyancy. These ideas act as a mirror which project our own image so that we may filter, may color, the universal with the personal."
-- Kevin J. Barr, 2/10/95
