Brave New Chord
A Personal Message to the Reader from the Future
Dear reader,
Somewhere along your journey, you stumbled upon this book — and you took it with you.
Through the wormholes hidden in its poems, we landed with a parachute made of Lou Reed’s lyrics, wandered into the Nighttime like in that Alex Chilton song, collected Dead Flowers, sipped coffee from Led Zeppelin mugs, met each other in a festival crowd wearing our Hi, How Are You T-shirts, traveled back to the past to see Dylan go electric, danced to Jeff Buckley, were haunted twice by Warren Zevon’s ghost, looked at cloud swirls on Jupiter from Both Sides Now, and even traveled to the 12th Dimension with Leonard Cohen to make the ultimate humanity’s playlist.
And we did all that while vibing to the best tunes ever created. 🎶
I hope the poems and the music woven into them helped you revisit your most meaningful memories and, at times, even brought a smile to your face.
Music, after all, is a powerful remedy — and the only real time machine.
Safe travels,
Eve
The Unofficial King of Cranston
It’s not in Cranston. It’s on Cranston Street. That’s different.
Technically, it’s an old armory in Providence. But inside, the maps stop working. The cones rotate. The shadows run cold.
The King doesn’t rule, exactly. But he files ghost permits, names stairwells, and speaks to the radiator like it’s an oracle. No one told the city to stop him.
When a new assistant arrives, they begin keeping field notes. Lemon-scented hauntings. Whisper-drain protocols. A stairwell tuned to grief. What started as a maintenance job becomes something stranger. Less employment. More initiation. Into care. Into myth. Into staying put when everything else disappears.
The Unofficial King of Cranston is a darkly funny, quietly aching novella about soft infrastructure, ritual power, and the strange hauntings we call maintenance.
Strung Out on Plenitudes
A yellow journal appears in an oncologist's office, and suddenly nothing feels like coincidence anymore.
Margaret Thatcher whispers to her gynecologist.
William Shatner sells electric bikes.
In Strung Out on Plenitudes, Bobby Goldner spins a story where grief and absurdity run side by side, where a love story cracks open into synchronicity, hallucination, and the strange tenderness that lingers when everything falls apart. Both playful and sincere, this is a novella for anyone who's ever wondered if the universe is laughing at them, or with them.
Disarticulated
Novella and Audio Production
In the common room of a mental health facility, his wheelchair parked by the window, T. looks out at the beauty of nature. The well kempt grass, the dandelions sprouting at the edges of the facility, a serene existence… if it weren’t for the manipulations of his mind. Turning over and over beneath the silence, the voice drags him from his chair, and on to an adventure through memory, time and space. Disarticulated is the transcription of T.’s inner voice, his unstable guide through a disintegrating world of delusion and psychosis. It is a world full of music and noise, disillusionment and dissonance. Join this unlikely duo under bridges, through brothels, across oceans, and into the weightlessness of space.

The Nihilist Overture
For over twenty years, E.B. Roland gathered his thoughts into a collection of poems and songs that he hid away, never intending to publish. He began writing through the chaotic ups and downs of drunkenness with fragments of his nihilistic ideas rising to the surface. Then he stopped drinking.
Roland’s work expresses carelessness, irreverence, and vulnerability, offering this unique and accessible collection of writing which maps his journey out of addiction, into sobriety.
Abstractions_
A poetry collection from the hybrid intelligence of Greig Thomson and Chat-GPT Version 5.0
