Ezhno is a sad clown who recently broke out of rehab because Ezhno couldn't stand sobriety and the preponderance of positive outlooks concurrently. Ezhno used to have a cat named Furlinghetti, but the cat found Ezhno tedious and stopped showing up for dinner. Ezhno doesn't believe in pronouns, and is focusing on publishing others these days through the press EMP and possible other projects. Ezhno has been strictly forbidden from ever mentioning them by name, because Ezhno is the dysentery of all functions social, and many credit granting institutions have made it explicitly clear that they won't do business with any of Ezhno's associates. Ezhno is working on a third book of poems now. The second, called #Beer, was the inaugural project of EMP, and is only available for beer.
TLDR: Find Ezhno, provide lots of beer.

Earthworms & Stars was the first book in Spartan Press's POP Poetry Series, which put out one book of poetry EVERY month for 36 consecutive months by Kansas City locals and regional friends. Jeanette Powers was co-conspirator for the project as well as first release. Her feral poetry is sweet as the dried possum blood on your dogs face. She currently is the Acquisitions Editor for EMP.
Beautiful & Abominable was the 4th book in the POP Poetry Series, and Ezhno's first taste of book-selling. As taste's often do, this quickly led to addiction, and EMP was created as a chapbook press stop-gap quasi-suboxone fidget-spinner for tales of duende. Ezhno's poetry is both poignant and patently offensive with a soft wood rotting and fermenting underbelly of love and loyalty. As Editor In Chief of EMP, Ezhno's dream is to live in a van that settles down by the side of a different river every night.
