Blair Trewartha’s Break In

On Feb 4 Cactus Press will be launching Blair Trewartha’s first chapbook, Break In, along with MM13. As a preview you can read Procedures for Escape here. I’ve also posted the cover below. 

Almost everything I’ve written involves equal parts staring at the wall, googling, wishing I still smoked, writing and playing youtube deejay.
