Praise for the 5th bottle of chemicals, the last drink/ on a week-long binge, for the job of the chemicals/ is to out-poison the poison in your body./ Praise for the nausea, for in our time/ it is a synonym for cancer./ Praise for the little Christ’s, rhythmic, literal,/ who hear the clock ticking words of Jesus./ Praise for the asshole, working around the clock/ carrying the obscenities from your body to the sewer.// Casas Enteras Temblando, the bilingual edition of Whole Houses Shaking, will be available early 1998. This Spanish version, translated by Anna Cecilia Villarreal, Ruben Alvarado and Frank Malgesini, was unanimously chosen for publication through the Instituto de Cultura del Estado de Chihuahua.

Whole Houses Shaking

Bodeen, Jim

Self-Help

Blue Begonia Pr

The bass play wonders/ what’s going to happen next,/ but he doesn’t let go of the string./ He’s holding back to make the song./ 
Commanded to follow, and obey, the dream, This House explores what the dream gives, traveling and mapping internal and external worlds, listening and telling stories, including la jornada sagrada to Macchu Picchu with young Latinos. This House tells their stories too. Sacred journeys. Sacred lives. 
Finally, it all comes down to listening. Just listening.
