Dire Moon Cartoons shows readers a vivid wide-angle/panoramic shot of beyond-the-mainstream - some may say divergent - styles, techniques and strategies for performance. Merging poetry, spoken word, commentary and eons of drama, these pieces are all recombinant experiments: much like running gene sequences through CRISPR and then splicing and reshuffling the results across time/space, even species (aka genres). Mad montage is a central gear in all of these texts and that technique jump-starts a cross fertilization that's produced some really interesting hybrids: strange birds, indeed, but also - in their own unassuming way - haunting, resonant, encouraging - and full of wonder.

It was the best of the worst of times, the worst of the best of times, the beginning of the end of the beginning. That's how this story begins. It's late 70's, early 80's, New York City, and nothing works. No place is safe. Porn is everywhere. The streets are filthy, and the subways are worse. Trust is committing suicide-love is abused, and institutions and individuals are corrupt, corrupted, or corruptible. The City and country are disintegrating. Enter two of the unlikeliest characters you've ever met-think Charlie Brown meets Mr. Natural, or Alfred E. Neuman in The Heart of Darkness. All these guys want to do is survive, and they do-but in a way neither they nor you can imagine.The Night at the End of the Tunnel, or Isaiah Can You See? is a dystopian picaresque. Hold onto your hopes. They, along with everything good, are about to be taxed.

This sequence of poems and poems-turned-songs will make you question the very existence of love and its teasing shadows that take form on occasion. Will love triumph over despair and sorrow? Only you hold that power, Dear Reader.
