long love poem with descriptive title (full-length poetry, drawings) coming September 2010

oh well (2009)

2009-05-05T06:02:00.000-07:00

this is a book of poetry confidently titled oh well. the manuscript is 73 pages long and is made up of single poems in sections that are divided by illustrations. i think there are maybe 6 or 7 illustrations. here are the names of the illustrations:

1) man walking, arrows; 2) weird lizard thing eating geometry; 3) weird bird thing eating geometry; 4) jesus; 5) portrait; 6) content whale thing; 7) maybe god, or, like, asian jesus or something, i'm not sure yet... maybe french jesus

some of the poems in this book have been published. there are new poems and old poems. the poems in this book span about two years, maybe. i think one of the poems was written last week

i have considered and maybe still am considering self publishing this book, but i don't know

the poems in this book are about geometry, spacial relations, boredom, confusion, loneliness, detachment, love, sarcasm, rich kids, and the concept of having an abundance of limited time that needs to be passed or used in some way

if it is up to me, the cover of this book will be a sickly-looking cloud puking lightning with the text 'oh well' and 'matthew savoca' somewhere on the cover

here are some possible cover images for this book:

notes from a room (????)

i have not composed this book yet

it is probably going to be poetry, or 'poetic prose' or something

it probably won't be called notes from a room, i just typed that because i was thinking about the book notes from underground

i think instead it might be called 'nothing' or something like maybe 'spanish flamingo dancing'

long love poem with descriptive title (2008)

2009-03-18T07:07:00.001-07:00

does anyone want to read and/or publish a poetry book that is one long poem?

some people have called this poem 'too much of a confessional', or maybe just one person said that, some editor somewhere of something. this long poem has also been called 'raw', 'minimalistic', 'too romantic', and 'unrefined'

this long love poem frequently addresses a 'you' which is the person the love poem is written for, that's what love poems are and do

this poem is long, like about 50 pages of a word document but it uses all of the pages so i don't know how much that would translate to of a smaller normal book size

this poem is gentle i think but also extremely sarcastic i think. maybe i should put that in a warning

WARNING! WARNING! -- this book is extremely sarcastic, nothing weird or 'surreal' is mentioned, i think

here are two possible cover images:

this book is confidently going to be titled "i don't know," i said

does anyone want to read and/or publish a fictional book about two people who don't know what to do with their lives or time or how to make money or just be alive in any kind of sensible way?

this fictional book is 50,000 words long, most of which say nothing and are not particularly interesting sounding or anything. this book will not make you realize something amazing about the world or yourself. this is a book about two people trying to figure out the best way to pass their future time and meanwhile having to deal with passing the current time and thinking about how they passed the past time.

there is a lot of dialogue in this book, during which mostly nothing particularly interesting is said. it is this such dialogue which progresses the story along, something that is usually done by crisp sharp narrative sentences.

this book is all in first person, and is related to a previous manuscript titled arthur. this books contains the same two characters.

there is a lot of mention of streetlamps in this book, one streetlamp in particular

WARNING! WARNING! -- nothing interesting happens in this book, the language isn't weird or anything

i am still editing this book maybe

arthur (2008)

hi

i wrote a fictional book called _____________________________

i don't know what it's called. here were the possible titles:

arthur; you are me and everyone i know; exactly something; alright

the book will probably be called arthur or okay arthur, or something

does anybody like fictional books in which nothing happens and there isn't any particularly weird or interesting language and there's a lot of dialogue and most of it isn't about anything and it's that dialogue which 'moves the story along' rather than narrative sentences?

does anybody want to read and/or publish such a book that is about 40,000 words long and frequently changes perspective & tense, switching around randomly from first to third person?

thanks

WARNING! WARNING! -- not a 'real' book, no 'real' narrative, very little 'voice', no particular 'prose style'
