A NEW Review of the Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook,"Cutting Eyes From Ghosts" by Ariana D. Den Bleyker

"Although this is a chapbook obsessed with death and black skies, we end up feeling uplifted by Cutting Eyes from Ghosts. Den Bleyker’s poetry treats the human condition with sympathy and kindness: “Our bodies climb, move, slant downward, / lost beneath stars expanding outward…” "

NEW! A Review of the Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, Cutting Eyes from Ghosts!

"Bodily disintegration, decay, brokenness, and darkness are predominant images in this "new" world the ghosts find themselves in — although one may argue that this world has been (and is) here all along, that there is nothing new about it at all.

Interestingly, the ghosts in these poems share some anxieties in common with living human beings: desire, hunger, pain, cessation of breathing, and the brokenness that is reflected in broken, decomposing bodies (the disappearing home)."

From a very interesting new review of the Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, "Cutting Eyes from Ghosts" by Ariana D. Den Bleyker.

Thank you very much to Mary Riley and Glass Poetry Press for writing and publishing this review.

Cutting Eyes from Ghosts

"a soak, slip of flesh from bone, tied limbs, torn-open neck, hollowed belly-

echo of splintering wishbones, graves & carcasses,

unspoken brokenness."

from the poem "Having Watched Us Box and Ditch Death in the Black Bark of Land" by Ariana D. Den Bleyker, within her new Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, Cutting Eyes from Ghosts

"bloodless, your mouth indefinitely, infinitely opening,

empty memory, willing, pliant, a body waiting
to say something, anything."

(from the poem "When We Die, There Will Be No Words, Just the Earth Between Our Teeth")

The NEW Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook is almost ready for AWP 2017!

Getting semi-close to the final stages of designing the initial first round of the new Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, "Cutting Eyes from Ghosts" by Ariana D. Den Bleyker, to take to AWP in less than a week (AND to give Ariana D. Den Bleyker her author copies).

Although Blood Pudding Press will not have a table at this year's AWP, I will be there - with some copies of the new chapbook, a few copies of other Blood Pudding Press chapbooks, and a few copies of some of my own chapbooks/books (although since I won't have a table, if you see me, you might need to let me know what chapbooks you might be interested in).

I will also be reading a few poems (along with lots of other writers reading poetry and fiction) at the Menacing Hedge Reading, the evening of Thursday February 9 from 6-10 PM at Johnny Pistolas.

The First Myna Birds Flock of 2017 is here!

Thirteen (+ three extra) pieces...

by Ariana D. Den Bleyker (three poems from her chapbook, "Cutting Eyes from Ghosts" coming very soon from Blood Pudding Press!), Jacklyn La Polita Janeksela, Craig Firsdon, Michael Grover, Mark Benedict, Ava C. Cipri, and Jeremy Mallory!

The world is flipping over itself - i carve the words death candy in a pole - a shot in the skull - If we’re quiet & listen, we can hear the dead - the glass rack hangs from the ceiling like i think my dead cousin wanted to - there’s a green skeleton underneath my bed - Sitting high up on his pedestal - That he has built on the backs of others - See us as a part of the human race and not just another number - a fury of clocks’ pendulums across - I shut off the valve filling Mother’s lungs with vinyl - It's all stagnation anyway - Black and white with floppy ears - the bird is still hurting...
