A Powerful New Review of the New "Fuck Cancer Poems" by Michael Grover (thank you to Matthew J Hall)!

"These poems, as I’m sure you’ve gathered from the chapbook’s title, are a personal exclamation toward malignancy. The author, Michael Grover, has been told he might have cancer; there is, however, a further diagnosis here that extends beyond the poet’s liver. There are tumours which have spread wild and rapidly as they chew through the hope of a better society...

By comparing his own disease to the fractured state of these bizarre times, the poet humanises the fractures and reminds us that we are being hollowed out, dumbed down and nullified by a bullshit, self-serving, cancerous zeitgeist."

from a powerful new review by Matthew J. Hall of the Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, "Fuck Cancer Poems" by Michael Grover.

Dan Denton recommends "Fuck Cancer Poems" by Michael Grover (Blood Pudding Press 2017)

"Ever read a poem that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand at attention? Ever read a poem that covers your arms in goosebumps?

Michael Grover’s latest chapbook from Blood Pudding Press is classic Grover at his finest. ‘Fuck Cancer Poems,’ is raw, gritty, and honest. It provides a small glimpse of a poet warrior fighting cancer with all he’s got.

Go buy his book. It’s $7."

Dan Denton received his copy of the new "Fuck Cancer Poems" poetry chapbook by Michael Grover (Blood Pudding Press, 2017)!

"Michael Grover has been a friend, a brother, and a poetry teacher/mentor to me for the past couple of years. I’ve watched cancer pretty much kick his ass a few times. I’ve seen him at some pretty low spots in his fight with the big ‘C.’

I’ve also had the pleasure of watching Mike throw a few punches of his own in that battle. Today I got this in the mail. I couldn’t be more proud of him for writing this, and grateful that Blood Pudding Press published it.

Thanks Mike. Fuck Cancer!

The First New Review of the New "Fuck Cancer Poems" by Michael Grover (thank you to Christina Brooks)!

A new book review written by Christina M. Brooks of the new "Fuck Cancer Poems" poetry chapbook by Michael Grover (Blood Pudding Press 2017):

"I've never cried thru a book of poetry before but I did with this one. And I still feel teary writing this review. I know the poet personally. Michael is a good friend and has been a staunch supporter of my own poetry from day one. It does make me sad that he is struggling with cancer. And I don't know how long he will be with us. But reading Fuck Cancer Poems that wasn't what brought the tears. What brought the tears was the very penetrating, real writing in it.

Michael has a very rebellious spirit... he sometimes comes off as gruff and combative with people and he has paid a heavy personal cost because of that. But underneath that exterior is a very perceptive, battle weary poetic warrior. His writing has a clarity you don't see very many places or hear from many people anymore. And I think it was that clarity, and the very raw, personal character of these poems that hit me so deeply. I felt these poems. They aren't just about his personal battle with cancer... but a keen eyed look at "cancer" in its other forms too.

Anyway, Thank you Michael Grover for writing these.. and thank you Juliet Cook for publishing them. And thank you to Craig Firsdon for the cover art.

And though they will probably make you cry I highly recommend this book."

"I feel the pressure of the World
Lifted off my shoulders
Like two days in a row off
They asked me to work today

Like I needed the money
To work this hard & be this poor"
