New Interview with Blood Pudding Press poet Lauren Gordon at New Books in Poetry

"Using colloquial language and the cadence of hymn to a mesmerizing affect, Gordon pulls the reader into a melding of prairie, nostalgia, and memory:

…endless, endless
prairie for corn and mud and loss and dirt

and the seeds and the silky tassel of half truths
and how you find God in the middle of a haystack
naked and crouching and warm..."

from a new interview with Lauren Gordon about her Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, "Fiddle Is Flood", conducted by Jen Fitzgerald at New Books in Poetry

"silver fishes and all that swim in the darkness - inside my belly - up and over my other bones - cutting my body in half - bared fangs tearing into hope - gyrate & spill give voice to swill - in the black soil of night - a glimmer of hopelessness - in heaven blood up to your ankles"
