NEXT EXIT: TEN (KSE #116), the final installment in this two-year series of ten chapbooks, is a solo entry from Misti Rainwater-Lites, and it’s now available for order. She’s not just in Texas this time around, and the poems have the scalding wit, the perfectly-chosen details, the great flow, and the righteous anger one expects from Ms. Rainwater-Lites.
Just for the record, here is the complete list of NEXT EXIT chapbooks.

NEXT EXIT: NINE, MK CHAVEZ & JOHN SWEET
NEXT EXIT: SEVEN, RONALD BAATZ & LUIS CUAUHTEMOC BERRIOZABAL

Thanks to everyone who participated in this project, everyone who wrote favorably about it, and especially everyone who purchased these chapbooks! Misti’s new Next Exit: Ten finishes the series, as the new SHANTI chapbook finishes the Creel Pone Sound Study Series, which was also in ten volumes. The Sound Library Series, presently up to 37 volumes, is an ongoing series that won’t be ending anytime soon.
I started another “series” a year or so back, the Cinema Poetry series, but only did one volume of that, a tribute to Barry Mahon’s ROCKET ATTACK USA. I had a few others sketched out—-the San Antonio-made z-grade western CACTUS BARRIER, the 1960’s Spanish-made drugsploitation classic HALLUCINATION GENERATION starring George Montgomery, D. W. Griffith’s THE STRUGGLE, and others. ROCKET ATTACK USA was quite well-received, even getting a mention at the KENYON REVIEW blog! , so maybe I’ll return to that series someday. Or maybe not… we’ll see.
Misti’s NEXT EXIT: TEN. You know you want it!
