Extra! Extra! (June)
It’s mid-June at The Whole Utopianotes Catalog. A hog heaven of grants, fellowships, prizes, jobs, gigs, open calls, and classifieds await you below!
Here’s a benediction: May you blame everyone else for your bad mood, but admit that you’re wrong to do it. May you say what you want. Be less available. Invite more people to dislike you. Ask yourself: Can I just enjoy this thing I have made, on my own, whatever it is, or do I struggle to do so unless I’m being passed around like a grocery store sheetcake, enough for everyone else to enjoy? Yikes. Make yourself less enjoyable. Maybe you have! What has it gotten you? Forget it. There is no going there. Whatever is left, is just you. Who is she? What is on her mind? Write the play. Post-date the check. Work for so-and-so. Ceasefire now. Buy the tickets. Fulfill the apparel returns. Become a witch. Squander everything that came before. Write repentant texts. Erase those texts. Cover your neck. Look in the mirror. All you need are one sentence descriptions: one sentence for each of the things you love most; one sentence for each of the things you have made; one sentence for how you got here. Acknowledge all that you have done, and be pleased, as though you are your own daddy. If you’ve learned anything, it’s that anyone can be a daddy.
And now some news:
If you’re in the great western Catskills this weekend, don’t miss the 4th Annual Hill People’s Comedy Fest, produced by Marisa Caruso and The Party Theater, hosted at the legendary Belvedere Inn in Stamford, NY. I’ll be there!
…AND it is still the case that I’ll be having a baby at the end of summer! So now’s a great time to upgrade to a paid subscription of The Whole Utopianotes Catalog (starting at $5/month, and which comes with a free 30 min. consult with me). Every paid subscription supports my work on it, and allows The Catalog to remain a public resource.

We’re a new operation, so flexibility and a willingness to get your hands dirty is a must. Hours and pay are negotiable and accommodation in our beautiful, off-grid cabins may be available! If you want to spend your day learning about building a small farm in the Catskills sunshine and then cooling off with a dip in the pond and a cold drink by the fire, give us a shout!

Call for submissions for Spirit Duplicator, new magazine from Adam Tobin
From Adam Tobin: “We are starting a magazine! Spirit Duplicator. 8.5x11 paper, stapled along one edge. 64 pages, 100 copies. To be issued maybe twice a year? Distributed to its contributors and via Unnameable Books. Poems will be typed on a typewriter and xeroxed at the copyshop until we get the CopyRite machine working. It will be very pretty. Please send us your work!
1-10 pages, multiple poems or one. We are looking for “poems”, but we don't really know what that means. These days a lot of poems are made of prose and other things. I like experiment and sound, socialist politics and serious play. Catherine likes poems that are surprising, haunted/ing, avant garde, visual, sonic, lyric, and tender. But we are both open to other possibilities of poetry.
Send your poems in whatever format makes sense (doc, pdf, etc, or actual paper) by July 1. You can send them to Adam Tobin & Catherine Bresner / spiritduplicator000@gmail.com”
