| ***BIO*** COREY MESLER: Corey has been a book reviewer for numerous papers for over ten years and for much longer than that he has been fumbling in a greasy till, selling Philip Roth and Iris Murdoch and Richard Powers and Steve Stern to the great unwashed who come to him from fourteen surrounding counties, asking “what is there to read?,” such is his reputation. He has published work in Yellow Silk, Black Dirt, Blue Unicorn and Green Egg, and that’s just the colors. His first novel, Talk, appeared in 2002, and a chapbook of poems, Chin-Chin in Eden, in 2003. He also claims to have written, "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves." He is the husband of the world’s most patient woman, and the father of two children, whose talents have so far surpassed their father’s he can only shake his hoary head and mutter. |

| Self-Hatred and Other Gods |
| by Corey Mesler |
| “a dead soul busily making phone calls transmits ownerless words/and we listen” Bei Dao That voice in my head I don’t want to hear it. That voice with barbs. I take drugs to not hear it. I roll over sleep. That voice in my head I don’t want to know its secrets, how it got a foothold, why it continues long after I’ve been scared half to death. |
