On September 18, 2014, Divine Providence Press will publish, under one cover, both 8 Days and Virtue, Andrew McNabb’s book-length prose poem, or “mystical prayer.” These two works are inextricably linked; as McNabb details in 8 Days, it was at the very moment he typed the period that would end Virtue that his odyssey emphatically began.
In 8 Days, he recounts the ecstatic mystical religious experiences that took place in his life over an eight day period in 2011. With literary attention, this career short-story writer, husband, and father of four details how he was swept up into a place “not quite here” and “not quite there,” a place in which he experienced both the ethereal and the terrifying, the awe-inspiring and the confounding.
Virtue is a paean, a poetic and prayerful work that seeks, also, to be instructive by way of a logical progression which culminates, ultimately, at that highest point on the spiritual mountain: union with Him in true love.
Order it here.
What the FOK?
Can’t wait…

Every time Wiseblood announces a new book, take a shot.
Every time Wiseblood announces a new music album, gake two shots.
Every time Wiseblood introduces a new imprint, take three shots.
Rules are modified slightly when it’s a Friend of Korrektiv. Then you have to keep drinking ’til you publish something.
I’d rather gake shots – that sounds fun.

gake: To take with a gulp.
This is what bothers me: there is difference between private and public life. Always has been and always will be. So if someone makes a sex tape for their own private enjoyment, it doesn’t give everybody with access to the web the right to watch it. So I feel bad for Miss Azalea and what she’s going through right now. HOWEVER … she _has_ been singing a song about being “in the fast lane from LA to Tokyo,” and also asking if I “wanna touch that” and “clutch that”, and even betting that I “wanna bite it”. She has a song called ” Pu$$y”, for Gawd’s sake! Can she really blame millions of guys with pubescent minds, no matter what their actual age, if they express an interest in seeing her perform a sex act on video? Why would she even make such a video without considering this possibility, nay – eventuality? Well, nobody said that growing older isn’t painful. And that’s all I have to say about Iggy Azalea. For now, anyway.
Hot girl, hands off, don’t touch that
Look at it I bet you wishing you could clutch that
It’s just the way you like it, huh?
You’re so good, he’s just wishing he could bite it, huh?
“Look at it.” Imperative.
Wow. I guess I could have gone the rest of my life not even knowing this young girl even existed – and, yes, so can my daughters…
