First of all, sorry it took me so long to reply to this message.
Secondly, Siken just writes editor’s notes, but I’ve just published links to all his writings from Spork here.
His poems have occasionally been published in other books and magazines, but as far as I know there isn’t a specific book plan or anything. He said something in an interview sort of relating to the topic:
I had the sense that I was expected to produce Crush 2—and there is no Crush 2, couldn’t possibly be aCrush 2 even if I was interested in attempting it—so I started to feel boxed in. But I was still feeling things and thinking things and my hands wanted something to do. So I got out my paints and squeezed the tubes, started pushing the color around without over-thinking it. I shut my mouth and opened my hand. After a while, I found myself thinking things, saying things, related to the paintings. My new poems started there.
Obviously he’s still writing, just not necessarily at a pace that will have another book coming out anytime soon, unfortunately.
I have reblogged some, and those are the only ones I know of.
Do any other followers have Siken tattoos? Or just ideas for one?
I did not know that, happy 8th anniversary to everyone!
I painted a thing! After 4 years! It doesn’t even make sense but I did it!
you take two things and try to define the space
between them.
