BRUISER READING NEXT WEEK IN BALTIMORE COME DO IT

For two straight years NJPW has left the king of the G1 Climax out of the tournament, and we can’t stand it anymore. BRUISER and @thateggsobig proudly present the first entry in YANO SEASON, a celebration of the trickster god of Japanese wrestling from @colettearrand . ↓

I say, forgive me, I know, only one of we can continue dispatching this lifeless language. THE AI PROMPT TO KILL by afoe ↓

I remember my good friend and former roommate Schwarz telling me a story about David Berman, told to him by his cousin Max, otherwise known as DJ Dog Dick. I MISS DAVID BERMAN by John Kidwell ↓

When I see Armie the guard cutting across the yard, I make a beeline towards him. He tells me there’s no mail. Relax, he says, you’ll find out about your little competition soon enough. I submitted my best work, I say. THE CENTER, OR HOW TO LIVE by @J0000005H ↓

Wrote a book of poems.

Next: “Hilarity,” in @bruisermag that house of weird. I have very little memory of writing this; I don’t know what that implies. bruisermag.com/miller_hilarity

Is it that chainlink fence? No. Give me a hint. No. Is it I don’t know. The sky? No. MOTHER OF HENS by @MrZoris ↓

The last time I saw him, he advised me to “abandon the craft if legacy is the intent.” I told him “tough shit, I have to get out of here.” I DREAM OF BEING ELSEWHERE by @ayebeetreez ↓

Whether she looks in the mirror or at her sister, this is what she sees: Pantone 601 hair that refuses to grow past her shoulder blades, one freckle on every other rib, teeth tossed into her mouth like handfuls of rough amber. SPECULAR by Thora Dahlke ↓

19 @YTR_CHAOS matches. One season. The first four are live, all heat: vs. Jon Moxley (2019) vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi (2007) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (2007) vs. AJ Styles (2015)

I'm a huge fan of Colette's work and it's fucking awesome to have her writing a limited series for us during this year's G1. Even if you don't watch Japanese wrestling Yano is an utterly fascinating performer and these reviews are absolutely worth your time
