NEW! My poem "Snow Angel Position With Dread" is making an appearance in Pinky Thinker Press!

"The cow was an unborn fetus.
The snow was a giant womb.
I needed to lie down
in snow angel position
and mimic the dreadful truth.
Give birth to something nobody wanted."

The end of my poem "Snow Angel Position With Dread", which appears in Issue 11 of Pinky Thinker Press.

Read the whole poem on page 27 here - https://www.mignolo.art/ptp

"...I might take more photos of the moon,
of the ice clinging to half-dead branches, but
then I might have a seizure on the frozen ice,
bang my head into frostbitten blood."

New! Two of my poems appear in the new issue of Misfit Magazine! - "Some people want to remove your eyes" and one of my FLESH WORLD poems...

I feel pretty strongly about these two poems of mine that appear in the new Issue No. 32, Spring 2021 of Misfit Magazine!

Below is a link to my two poems - "Some people want to remove your eyes" and one of my FLESH WORLD poems (from a small series).

I hope a few people read them. 💜 I've been feeling kind of invisible lately (and having a hard time trusting other people). 

However, even if hardly anyone reads them, I am still proud of them for my own reasons.

"The world is beginning slowness, about to slide into the muddy banks - Our bones lock our refreshed hearts in a new cage - a twisted birthday where one woke at their funeral - we jump and pounce on each other - nowhere to run - the squirrel with brains knocked out by someone's car - Complete items are wrong, ugly, incorrect - you want me to notice the words, what remains of them. What did they mean before and what do they mean now? - How many times a day do I place false closures on the ends of words? - just grey and white and swollen with brine - driving on her own ghost train - I pretend to fit the correct ends into sockets - blood drawn, buttoned lips - and out it comes, surprising you with its ferocity - pleasure gardens for hyenas - The occupation of colors avalanches - Annihilate me and my fairy tale"

NEW in South Broadway Ghost Society! - Two collaborative poems by Juliet Cook and j/j hastain

"We’re going to start a riot
in which we suck the leeches out of the straws
and fling them at those who think they should be in control
of our blood. We’ve got a lot to show them

about blood. It can’t be owned."

j/j hastain and I have two poems up at south broadway ghost society today!

NEW Full Of Crow with oodles of poetry!

The new Full Of Crow April issue is alive and includes two new poems by me and oodles of other creative creatures!

Thank you to Full of Crow poetry editor Elynn Alexander for all her creative flow.

Here it is - http://www.fullofcrow.com/poetry/2016/04/full-crow-poetry-april-2016/

Here is what Elynn Alexander had to day about this new comeback issue -

Full Of Crow Press would like to officially announce and share our "comeback" issue of Full Of Crow Poetry, the first new issue after our year-long hiatus, It is jam packed with great poets. "The contributors are a mix of new and old friends of Crow, emerging and seasoned, international, diverse… as usual - a range of voices from as many perspectives as I could mix into the space."

"People say that it is difficult to get a handle on WHO we publish. I like it that way. That is poetry. That is our world. Full Of Crow is like a diner. You never know who will be there, eating pie, or why."-Elynn Alexander

NEW Jet Fuel Review includes two collaborative poems by Juliet Cook & Robert Cole

"Thighs drip drip drip all the way down

that mouth is the opposite of diaphanous."

Within the new Spring 2014 Jet Fuel Review, are two collaborative poems by Robert Cole and me - "Blood Drenched Funnel Cake" and "Another Inedible Funnel Cake"  (pages 12-13).
