WomaN: New Poems available this week

This year poet B. Biesek (pen name Born Before) will self-publish a poetry chapbook in each of the first 52 weeks of the year; this project, dubbed One Year More Poems, is an attempt to focus, for the bard, on both quality and quantity in his verse. He anticipates giving up writing poems as of December 2014. Since 2007, Biesek has placed poems for publication in about 20-25 publications and been featured in print and person.

For now, OYMP presses on with this, the 26th chapbook in the 52-chaps series. "WomaN: New Poems," is a set of 9 "felt" poems, "call and response" by the poet to his immediate surroundings. A New Theorem Press Chapbook; PDF, 28 pp. $1.00 via PayPal [Click This Link to lead to Purchase]. (Chapbook will be emailed to you soon after your purchase.)

OYMP1 : FUNNY H0W M0N3Y available

The first chapbook in the 52-chapbooks One Year More Poems series by author/artist Born Before (B. Biesek), "FUNNY H0W M0N3Y: New Poems" is a set of darkly chaotic poetry written and self-published around December 2013 (official publication date of January 1, 2014). The poetry is perhaps the most caustic and aggressive in this chapbooks series to date, and draws heavily on hip-hop culture and classical music, in particular Vivaldi's 4 Seasons. That said, the poems are oft concise and meant simply as a window into the poet's psyche.

The chapbook, as with all the OYMP chapbooks, is in PDF form; originally priced at $1.00, the chapbook is still available for $1.00 and can be ordered here.
