Howdy.
I have a new poem up at Everyday Genius (thanks Luke Goebel and Adam Robinson!) about finding a tiny world inside the mailbox.
I have new poems up at Vinyl (thanks Gregory Sherl and K.M.A. Sullivan!) involving Fugazi, Joey Ramone and crudite.
Also…
Hippie out with the astrology of literary rejection.
Rest in peace Peaches Marie
2005-2010
Peaches had a stroke on Thursday and passed on Friday in the early morning. She missed her sister/life partner Angie very much– ever since Angie passed in May.
They are together now in that great pigloo in the sky, sharing some watermelon or perhaps a baby carrot.
We will miss our girls.
On a recent trip to SF, I did a scavenger hunt to see how many of the people/places/things I could find from my poem (in Mother) Falling Off the Richter Scale. Below are the poem and the results of the hunt.
I am reading in Baltimore this Sunday July 25 @ 7 pm at Last Rites in the Baltimore Hostel, 17 W Mulberry Street.
Dawn Davenport will be there. My friend Beth Feingold will be there.
After that I am going to go to sleep in this beautiful cave for a little while.

“This debut from Broder is as funny and hip as it is disturbing…These poems are also quirkily compassionate…sexy, and at times even gross…a bright and unusual debut.”
-Publishers Weekly"...obsessive, energetic and pop-culture-infused poetry..."
-Time Out New York"Broder’s insight and honesty will make your brain light up and your hair stand on end.”
-The San Francisco Examiner"Broder’s verse is acrobatic and whip-smart…its own creature…it steamrolls through crises with the sugar and swing typically associated with the likes of The Shangri-Las and Ramones."
-Bomb
