On the first day of February, we bring you a promotion – a celebration – of Matthew Salesses’ I’m Not Saying, I’m Just Saying (Civil Coping Mechanisms).

Bookmark the main project page – links will be added each Monday and Wednesday in February as we bring you more lit inspired by Matthew’s great work.

There’s Scott Garson’s CONTAIN: “So your tension—follow me here—is as follows: then vs. now. Then vs. restrooms: scented petroleum products under the urine stream. Then vs. hangnails. Then vs. boredom and falseness and gradual animal death. Are you still reading?”

Over on the Blog, Berit Ellingsen’s First Thought, Best Thought explores reactions, culture, and pick-up attempts.
