"If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials."

For those who may have not yet seen this, here is a link to installation pix from the "This is Just Mail Art" show, which came down this past Sunday. So much wonderful trashpo in this exhibit. Thanks to all trashpoets who participated!

Granted, "vacation" is becoming a DKult code word.

If you look into it, you will find many Kulters have experienced some form of head trauma.

Comment by DKeys on October 20, 2014 at 2:19pm

kdj mentioned seeing someone like this right before her so called 'head injury' occurred following by her 'vacation'

New DKULTNY promotion: "DKult is the new Scientology"

I've blogged the results of Diane's TOXIS paranoia. As a result, I'm thinking Kulter abduction stories might make a good feature in the next DKULTNY fanzine.

If you have had any sort of Trashpo abduction or believe you have repressed memories of such an event, I hope you can send some indication of it to me. I am always glad to use things people send me for the fanzine as well.

Hi Martita!  your digital trashpoem is incredible! i've never seen anything like that. the green chair...i was into this pretty hideous color scheme about 10 years ago--kind of a chartreuse green and peachish pink. i thought it looked vintagey. so we found this green 70s that kind of flocked material from a thrift store.  we innocently went on our business but noticed  for no reason we were just at each other's throats!  called an intuitive friend of ours in CA who has never actually been to our house and she asked, "Do you by chance have a green chair?" I said yes and she said, "Well, it has some really nasty energy from the previous owner. You might want to get it out of your house." so with relief we concluded we were being attacked by the chair and once we got rid of it things were fine.  ghost stories at xmas? definately not just at Halloween. Id say xmas in the states at least is ghastly so no ghosts stories needed just watch the news for how many people get trampled from Olympic shopping

A pom (I never write poems, they are too long and bore me) which I wrote, sort of, holding the stylus lightly over the screen of my tablet and a bumpy ride on a plane so letters were typed automatically. Over a photo of the remains of our lunch. Is this Trashemicpo, DVS?

Comment by Mail Art Martha on October 18, 2014 at 9:09pm

Diane, were you haunted by a chair or was the chair itself haunted? Like when you sat on it you felt you were sitting on somebody's knees? Please, please tell us. I cannot sleep thinking of the possibilities.

Idea for Christmas card, a ghost story about it. I do not know if you tell ghost stories for Christmas in the States but here is traditional, now plays in TV.
