APOCALYPTIC HOLIDAY SPAWN

Thirteen Myna Birds-APOCALYPTIC HOLIDAY SPAWN ISSUE

(a re-post from the Blood Pudding Press Latest Ooze blog at http://bloodyooze.blogspot.com/, because I think this issue is so damned fun, I just had to post it here, too--and by damned fun, I might mean eternal damnation with buttercreme.)



Thirteen Myna Birds is wrapping up 2009 with a bloody, frosting-y razzle dazzle bang, with the APOCALYPTIC HOLIDAY SPAWN ISSUE. This hideously delicious mutant entity features poetry by David Wolach as the sodden bread for an oozilcious Apocalypse Cakes sandwich!

Poetry, blood, fallen angels, tainted feathers, and perversely festive fruitcake are among the bounty of grotesque offerings at this holiday banquet. Oh, my stomach!

If you like the Apcocalypse Cakes you ravenous slut, you can actually buy the recipe cards and bake them yourselves; just click the link below to visit the Apocalypse Cakes etsy shop:

As for Wolach's poetry, if you'd like to consume some more of that, word on the street is he has three books coming out in 2010. 'The Cutting Room' , from which two of the poems here are taken, will be published by Differentia Press.

Thirteen Myna Birds will return with fresh baked content in 2010, too; submissions are welcome.

Until then, enjoy the apocalyptic holiday feast at http://13myna.blogspot.com/

A tidbit of other news, for anyone interested--I will have a six sentence poem-like-thingee debuting at Six Sentences on December 27.

Poetry Readings & Writings

Dana Guthrie Martin, author of the poetry chapbook, 'The Spare Room', which was recently published by my Blood Pudding Press, was live on the Joe Milford Poetry Show this evening. During this show, she read quite a few pieces from 'The Spare Room' (as well as some sections from a quirkily delightful in-progress collaborative poem between her and Nathan Moore). She's really an excellent reader, plus listening to these poems read aloud (and the related conversation between Dana and Joe Milford) will give you a real feel for the content of this collection.

Listen to Dana read, here:

If you're in the mood for even more poetry reading, you may listen to me read a piece from my own new poetry chapbook, FONDANT PIG ANGST by scrolling down a few entries on this very blogorama.

FONDANT PIG ANGST is also available in the Blood Pudding Press etsy shop, as well as directly from the stupendous publisher, Slash Pine Press.

I've been feeling rather unfocused and out of it today, but I did manage to send submissions to four different poetry magazines, one of them something extra-fun sounding called TITS: A 24 Hour Journal of Poetry & Poetics. I submitted one animal, three designer vaginas, and a dessert product to the TITS project, so we shall see what happens.

Also wrote three book blurbs within the last few days, but have so much more writing to do. Another blurb, another couple reviews, a personal feminist treatise of sorts, a little article on gifts for travelers, maybe a holiday letter. Poetry. Pitter patter.

Oh and I received my new fingerless mittens inspired by the Log Lady from Twin Peaks! Huzzah!
