https://starlitemotel.wordpress.com/infatuationvsentropy
I thought this would be cooler. Infatuation vs. Entropy. Infatuation vs. Entropy. Jub Press, 2007 (out of print)/click image to purchase. Infatuation vs. Entropy. You watch my will disintegrate. As fast as public lives. Of tabloid stars that sniff up. Hasty coke along the road. To rehabs far more fabulous. Than the house that I. Sweat rent for, and I let. You smash the smoking. Cigarette of your whole self. Into the crowded ashtray. Of my sentiment because. Why not, why not when I paint. They’re sure tha...

Meander Knot Press: December 2005
http://meanderknotpress.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Poet and photographer with ideas and opinions about art, about life, about food. Thursday, December 29, 2005. When we went to Powell's on Christmas Day (a tradition for writers in Portland) I only ended up buying two magazines, one called Camera Arts. And the January issue of Vanity Fair. I have decided Naomi Watts is my current hero. Persistent against all odds, I'd say. Sometimes talent just doesn't get recognized until it is long overdue. I see this tendency in myself. I get angry when I don't get...

DONE DID IT | i thought this would be cooler
https://starlitemotel.wordpress.com/2012/06/01/done-did-it
I thought this would be cooler. Infatuation vs. Entropy. June 1, 2012. As I wrote in my bio:. 8220;Amber Ridenour (a.k.a. Starlite Motel) had a giant crisis of faith after becoming disillusioned with open mikes, grad schools, literary cocktail parties, lit mags, poets, Portland, rain, babies, working in coffeeshops, and human beings in general. After about 3 messy maudlin years of whining and drinking way too much cheap wine, she snapped out of it and threw the best efforts of those years into this book.

COLLUSION | i thought this would be cooler
https://starlitemotel.wordpress.com/2011/11/21/collusion
I thought this would be cooler. Infatuation vs. Entropy. November 21, 2011. I thought about sending this poem to a “feminist lit mag” on the basis that no one else would publish it, but now i think most “feminist” rags would find something offensive in here… no one really likes to talk about the “crabs in a barrel” syndrome that governs a lot of female interactions, but to my mind, rooting that out of our own psyches is the final battle). 1) an exercise of freedom. 3) bad habits sucked like comfort.

I thought this would be cooler. Infatuation vs. Entropy. Die, Die, Die My Darling. January 22, 2012. Lit mags are evil. Looking back on the tequila-infused glowy-ness of the San Fran trip where Chris and I decided to have not only a press, but a. Pronounced like “. 8220;), I can’t help feeling like we walked into some kinda trap. Somebody should’ve at least had a baaaad feeling about it. Gross, gross,. I’ve probably ranted about this before, but it bears repeating that one of my adjunct professors ...

Night Bomb | i thought this would be cooler
https://starlitemotel.wordpress.com/night-bomb
I thought this would be cooler. Infatuation vs. Entropy. 5, Night Bomb Press 2008 (click image to purchase from website). Tell Me I’m Out Of Line,. You murmur, but. Your hands stay planted. Strong as silos on the roses. Underneath my shirt. Hard. To say what lines get drawn, and hard. To speak at all, when you are. Hard and burning Catholic with need. To be redeemed. But God,. That big unruly adolescent,. Will still be waiting. In the morning, clamoring. For church and bendy straws,. Nowhere to go but st...

Autobiographical Alley Map | i thought this would be cooler
https://starlitemotel.wordpress.com/autobiographical-alley-map
I thought this would be cooler. Infatuation vs. Entropy. Click image to purchase from website. Of self-taught adolescence painting. On a mouthy pout and scuttling. Ennui into drunken teenage form past. On corners counting off each flatbed. Ford past traintracks where Zima bottles. Cracked to glinting bits and brittled. From between the rails past. Burnside street where love-affairs. With tattoos near turned literal. In garbagepile kisses fueled by ink. Caffiene and nicotine and the wife. Was what I wanted.

https://starlitemotel.wordpress.com/2012/12/24/my-so-called-life
I thought this would be cooler. Infatuation vs. Entropy. December 24, 2012. I’ve been working on a series of flash-memoir lately. I have about 16 finished; I want to eventually have 30, because I am thirty, and it seems important to commemorate my thirty-ness with some kind of achievement before I’m 31 and therefore, like. A million years old. If you are one of my friends who has known me for, like,. A million years,. It’s weird to have lived long enough to have a past. That nebulous concept that still m...
