...Hence, I can't finish writing this until I've said this: my thoughts on crappy publishers come and go, but daily I am destroyed inside, reading about ongoing atrocities against women and girls in ___________.

In the five days that it's taken me to complete this article, it's estimated that 250 women and girls have been raped in South Kivu, in eastern Congo. In South Kivu, a doctor, in conversation with Eve Ensler, said the most common wound to woman is a "traumatic fistula . . . caused by insertion of a gun, bottle or stick into the vagina or shooting a gun between the woman's legs," causing a "rupture between the vagina, bladder and/or rectum," and rendering "an uncontrollable leakage of fluids, secretions, urine or feces." The intent is not to kill the woman, but to shame her. This is a "strategy of war."

Slab: movie # 3

Slab: movie # 3

click on image above

In the novel I am working on, a character (Tiger) sits on a concrete slab and remembers, One of her chapters is titled: Tiger Goes To the Movies, in which she recalls movies in as much detail as possible and re-watches them, projecting them onto the slab. There are a lot of gaps in her memory.

In sorting how to presence the gaps, one of the ways I am writing this section is to watch movies through my camera, randomly taking pictures, Later, I delete exactly half of the photographs. Later still, I curate the remaining frames and look at them a lot. Finally, I write those frames into vignettes from memory. These hole-filled picture "movies" are artifacts of the process I am presently in. Many thanks to Noah for technical & sound help.

Slab: Movie # 3 is a set of janky photographs of the 1984 film, Revenge of the Nerds, directed by Jeff Kanew. In 2007 it was released as a special edition DVD entitled "Panty Raid Edition" (the special edition name was originally: "The We've Got Bush Edition"). These photographs were taken from the 2007 re-release.
