Every Day Since I Left Indiana, by James Hooker

Poetry, chapbook, 40 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

Every Day Since I Left Indiana is a conceptual framework for how to stick the landing after being kicked out of an airplane, as described by somebody who is actively falling. There are many methods, says the freediver, such as learning to extricate one’s consciousness from the little falling self, to reidentify with the invulnerability of omniscient space, to imagine the sensation of landing in a soft bed of flowers, or to give up entirely, in a metaphysical way.

This chapbook contains 17 such concepts which may or may not be of assistance to the reader’s own relationship with the quickly approaching earth. This framework, however, should not be followed without apt consideration, for the author has yet to even consider deploying a parachute.
