My NEW poetry chapbook, REVOLTING, is now available from CUL-DE-SAC OF BLOOD!

I am very excited about my NEW darkly delicious and creepily disconcerting 2024 poetry chapbook, "REVOLTING", published by and newly available from CUL-DE-SAC OF BLOOD!

It is available along with 3 other poetry chapbooks ("Blood Bath" by Christine Kanownik - "Friday the 13th" by Jonathan Minton - "watch for deer" by Michael Sikkema).

All 4 have interconnected cover art by Kayte Terry!

All 4 are newly available NOW!

All 4 can be purchased together in a bundle for only $28 (which includes shipping).

OR they can be purchased individually for $8 each (which includes shipping) OR in sets of 2 or 3!

They are available from CUL-DE-SAC OF BLOOD here! - https://www.culdesacofblood.com/books

Please support small presses and also keep in mind that poetry chapbooks could make uniquely delightful holiday gifts (or anytime gifts) for those who adore or are inspired by poetry!

(I also have some extra copies of my REVOLTING chapbook if anyone would like to purchase directly from me for the same price. Just ask me. But I also recommend buying more than one from the uniquely wonderful small press that published them all.) ***
The next time you assume
that I worship the same way as you,
all the wall hangings will violently crash,
all the splayed remnants will come back to life
in different incarnations. Thirteen mice

you killed without thinking twice
will emerge from my mouth, convulsing,
convoluted, hurling into screaming incantations,
their tiny skulls temporarily paralyzing you,
so that you can't keep on ignoring me.

A NEW Summer Flock of Thirteen Myna Birds is here!

It has been a few months since a NEW Thirteen Myna Birds flock has come forth into the world, but here it is! https://13myna.blogspot.com/

It starts with a poem from the latest Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, "White Octopus" by Davide Nixon and then includes creative delights by M.P. Strayer, Mark J. Mitchell, Josey M., Paula Cary, Daniel G. Snethen, and Merritt Waldon!

(On a side note, I know I accepted some of your work quite a while ago and I apologize for the delay, but sometimes some elements of life get in the way. Also too, I still have more pending submissions to read and consider for the next flock. You have not been forgotten.)

But for now, please do partake of the new Summer 2024 flock of Thirteen Myna Birds HERE - https://13myna.blogspot.com/ And please help spread the words!

"Doom, says the old dog adjusting to the end - The cyclical madness of existence - She rose, straightened her long spine, set off for a science with no strict clocks or counters - the whippoorwill screams to a sky full of cobwebs - Nestled within, a yellow spider with a clown face upon its abdomen - Messages from other realities - Eyes white, rolling backwards into the ivory skull - where does this building end and the earth begin? - in maniacal surround clown sound - I found myself mesmerized by the grinning of the clown - The world around her is burning - Fluid rivers of furious - the sucking hungry silence of a thousand people holding their breath - A SHATTERED DEER BLEATS DESPERATELY IN A ROADSIDE DITCH - Are there any ears - I handed you the knife - To catch one winged Critter..."

NEW! I am delighted to have two collaborative poems by me and Alex S. Johnson making an appearance in Unlikely Stories!

"Backtracking vertebrae work their way up

to my broken neck, break through dead skin

turn themselves into even more hair trails

I am becoming the opposite of a celestial body

Implosions morphing into explosions morphing

into internal locomotion, growing giant worms"

Very excited to have two collaborative poems "Momia's Metamorphoses" and "Momia's Mauled Metamorphoses" by Alex S. Johnson and me appearing in Unlikely Stories
