The website name Codes & Chaos comes from a column I wrote for PhotoStatic magazine which focused on the occult and the avant garde. I've always thought the title captured the essential nature of this game we're in; that is, the unknowable universe where we have been incarnated without our consent and the various methods we use to put some order and control on this puzzling existence. Those original columns are gathered together here, along with my book reviews and links to some of my online prose poems. Come in out of the cold, make yourself comfortable, and browse through the texts available at this "website among the ruins"
That's right. Here's where you can purchase signed copies of my new prose poem collection Screaming in Code ($8) and the always-popular Stigmata Junction (yet more prose poems; $6). Just email me at twiloch(at)wowway(dot)com with your order and mailing address and I'll bill you via PayPal. Quick, easy, and guaranteed to make your life--and mine--seem worthwhile.
Stigmata Junction is still available as an e-book from Fictionwise.
Screaming in Code is available in both print and e-book versions from Lulu.
My 1995 collection Mr. Templeton's Toyshop is available directly from the publisher, Wordcraft of Oregon/Jazz Police Books, for $9.95.
Three of my chapbooks of cut-up haiku--Night Rain, Decoded Factories of the Heart, and Neon Trance--are available for $3 each from the Runaway Spoon Press.
