Bottle of Smoke Press is proud to announce the release of:


Damian Michaels - Echoes from the Tortured Calm


Art; 48 pages. Book measures 5.75" square.  Contains 20 color and B&W plates.
Illustrated endleaves. Introduction by Alan Martin Sisley.  Published in an
edition of 50 hand bound hardcover copies, each signed and numbered by the

$50.00 + Shipping.


Damian Michaels' art has been shown in group exhibitions throughout the US,
Europe and Australia as well as solo shows in Germany and France. Most of his
artwork is in miniature which makes the detail that much more amazing. The book
features twenty remarkable images and is available in an extremely limited hand

At this time there are no plans for a paperback edition of this title.  We
expect this to sell out quickly.  At the time of this announcement, we have less

Off Base
By David S. Pointer

the
gas-station
stomp down
was good
until Roy and
Ben told
the Marine
they were
going to use
him as their
battleship
bitch then
the Marine
picked up
the darkness
like a tire
iron and
turned them
into curb
remnants
to be read
in a lab


The Information Room
By David S. Pointer

Before the radical
neck dissection and
hard chainsaw rage,
Cal puts on secret
ceremony goggles
thinks about his
alimony payments
and pours battery
acid on Kendall's
sterile burn dressing
as the media on TV
continue to misinform
the American public
Cal let's Kendall know
exactly what he can
do for his funeral and
would he like double
jackpot daylillies to
go along with the
nice coffin carnations



Okinawan Murder: 1982
By David S. Pointer

Like a cloned capsuleer,
I don't seem myself this
shift studying strangled
bar girl crime photos
in police records. This
time the bullet's entry
wound is a man's belt
wrapped ragingly around
the Islanders' complete
outrage, as criminal
investigators get the
suspects waist size
from the abandoned
murder weapon soon
searching for the bigger
American at the bars,
military bases, and
ever gurgling shadows
