New Red, Blue, & Ghostly Myna Birds

"love is a wayward thread - a tethered balloon - blurred with lust - the feather disaster - blinded by primary color - we wait for the blue to begin, for the sky to open up - my ignited bones - your shiny scalpel blade - holes into the velvet - a banner against the cadaverous sky"

Thirteen Myna Birds is newly updated for May! Offering ghostly red frothings of poetry by Alex Stolis, Natalie Fisher, Daniel D. Mutch, Jessica Lindsley, Ivars Balkits, Cheryl A. Townsend and Daniel G. Snethen at http://13myna.blogspot.com/

like a microscope creature death pangs under eye of cold light”

MUTANT NEURON CODEX SWARM

I'm making a small excited announcement that my collaborative creepy young yumhead poet creature Robert Cole and my collaborative poetry chapbook - MUTANT NEURON CODEX SWARM - was accepted for publication by Hyacinth Girl Press, to be published next year! 

Talk about awesomely exciting poetry news! I sure love Hyacinth Girl Press, which published my Thirteen Designer Vaginas in 2011 - and I sure love the ooozylicious hideous poetry stuff that's been spewing out of Robert and me.

Hyacinth Girl Press will make a more official announcement after they choose all the new chapbooks they're going to publish next - but as of right now, they are still accepting and reading chapbook manuscript submissions, throughout the month of May. 

Sister, Blood and Bone by Paula Cary - NEW from Blood Pudding Press

Blood Pudding Press is very pleased to announce its third new poetry chapbook of 2013, “Sister, Blood and Bone” by Paula Cary, with cover art created from the doll photo, “Steampunk Dia De Los Muertos Doll 353” by Michael Brown/ UC Studios.

Paula Cary’s ten poems within this swimming diving and skull collecting offering were inspired by her sister Lisa Cary, her muse. The poems offer small bursts of life and death and blood based connections.  Blood and bones collected from under water and saved for memories and keep sake and art sake.

Each chapbook is hand-bound with colorful threads pricked in.  If you would like a specific color cover, feel free to specify when you purchase – either light gray with circles OR medium gray OR variations of tan (or Blood Pudding Press will choose for you and surprise you.)  Also if you would like a certain color of binding thread, feel free to specify that – either soft/light/dark blue water OR multicolored bright blue/green OR multicolored bright RAINBOW flying mermaid legs.

“You are bloodless white

From the frigid depths

Your lips a literal blue

They match your eyes

And I think of sugar skulls

Dressed in colored frosting”

(from Paula Cary’s poem “After the Dive in Troy Springs”)
