Two-year anniversary!

Thank you for being a subscriber!

Today marks the two-year anniversary of Dispatches from the Basement! After seeing my work removed from publications and denounced by publishers — treated like nuclear waste by the cowards of the mainstream literary world — I realized I needed to find an alternative to the usual forms of publishing. So, I started this newsletter as the exclusive vehicle for publishing my poetry.

The beauty of Substack is that it gives independent writers and literary artists a platform where they can be free to build an audience without the looming threat of censorship. That kind of freedom is rare in a world where the censorious and the perpetually aggrieved reign over culture like a bunch of termites.

By supporting my newsletter, you support literary art independent from the corrupted mainstream. Also, you help me keep the lights on in my hovel!

Thank you, friends, for your ongoing support.

Here’s to another year of Dispatches!
