I appreciate it, but the physical book is a physical process :) You can send a QR code with cashu. Just include your return physical address. Or an opendime. But I think that costs as much as the book, idk.

My favorite Oscar Wilde piece tbh.

Yes.

Snow falls between notes of a lone bugle calling — muted by cloud chords. A murder of missiles flies past crooning crows on dead wood. https://open.substack.com/pub/bitpunkfm/p/silver-bugle

War dreams of itself. I wish I didn’t write a book so relevant. https://wastedblood.com/

Summer grasses— All that remains of soldiers' dreams. Basho, 1689.

Maxell golds!!

The cassette is the perfect symbol of censorship resistance!

Thank you! Glad to hear that!

I believe that the War is being deliberately prolonged by those who have the power to end it. — Siegfried Sassoon, British Officer and Poet, June 15, 1917 https://open.substack.com/pub/bitpunkfm/p/a-soldiers-declaration-1917-and-2026

I performed a live stichomancy reading today. It’s at the 49 minute mark. Legally, I must say I am not a licensed stichomancer. https://open.substack.com/pub/bitpunkfm/p/poetry-on-tape-20226

From the backlog: I wish to see a taxpayer name on every bomb and tank, so the world would know — directly whom to thank. https://wastedblood.com

I dabble in stichomancy. https://open.substack.com/pub/bitpunkfm/p/on-stichomancy

I have not found a nicer community than on Substack. Nostr, for what it is, is great. And yes, Substack is a giant tech community. But there are many people there discussing literature, from the classics, to modern novels, to poetry. If you want to get back into reading hard books that will challenge you, this is the place. You can start with mine:

And I’m still pre-coffee, so I should add thank you to all those who are interested!

How do you play a bugle call for a military funeral in a book? https://open.substack.com/pub/bitpunkfm/p/when-the-ink-bleeds

If you want the physical copy of wasted blood, and want to pay in bitcoin, you can send me a cashu QR code in the mail. I made the physical copy available only via the post as a contrast of experience to the digital one. The physical one, I bleed on. It’s not meant to be a fast process. https://wastedblood.com

This one photo is a collection of The Bloody Sonnets in various media. On the left is the 1952 edition with its Soviet introduction, claiming the imperialists want war. The other book is the 2018 English version by John Minahane, which keeps them as English sonnets. Then there is some pamphlets from the two-woman play produced last year by the Bratislava based theatre D.P.O.H. And now in 2026, we have a new cassette. 😊 While you are waiting for the book, I still have the translations posted. This one is my favorite and you can see me use a scythe: https://bitpunkfm.substack.com/p/the-bloody-sonnets-16

You can send a cashu token as a QR code. Just be sure to include your return address. The only other way is the open dime, but I think that costs as much as the book.
