"just a road": Lauren Eggert-Crowe on fauxstalgia & LA Liminal

Over at Lauren Eggert-Crowe's Valentina in Orbit, she retypes "The Mexico It Would Take," LA Liminal's first poem, and defines fauxstalgia as "this concept of being nostalgic for a time you didn't even enjoy when you were in it."

On Facebook she told me that fauxstalgia seemed to be the unifying theme of LA Liminal, and she's probably right.

I told her about nostalgio, the term Andy & I invented for being nostalgic for the moment you're in, before it's even passed -- already feeling yourself missing the present moment.

Other people probably call that "being happy."

Don't let this Friday the 13th pass you by.
