The Overnightscape Underground

Whychock.pdf

Whychock is a continuation of Thinkfank (thinkfang.com), a book of psychedelic Gen X poetry by me, Frank Edward Nora, host of The Overnightscape podcast, on Onsug Radio (onsug.com). The project began in the early 1990s as Superior, and was a regular feature in my ezine OsoaWeek, starting with the first issue on 7/28/94. Over the course of its run in OsoaWeek till its end on 2/16/03, Superior went through three more phases: Parking, Duskaway, and Hurricaner. A fifth phase, Thinkfang, began on 6/19/04 and lasted till 12/2/07, with the last poem suggesting an addition phase to bring the total number of poems to 1,254 (209×6). This then, that that final phase, which took over seven years to complete. The final poem was finished being written on 7/27/24, making the total length of the project exactly 30 years.

But that’s not all! This year, 2024, I began a process to review the entire work, and remove any text that I felt wasn’t good, to arrive at a new version that would hopefully be much better, on the whole. This new work is called Whychock Revival, and will be released later this year.

30:10 – After the battles of Jericho and Ai, which were previously described in detail, the rest of the conquest becomes kind of a blur. There are a few interesting moments, however, like when huge rocks fall from the sky and the sun stands still for about a day. And oh yeah, when a neighboring tribe pulls a scam on Joshua and as punishment they are made to serve as lumberjacks and water boys.

Theme music: “Mopping Up” (2024), words by Dave in Kentucky, music and performance by Suno.ai (v3.5).
