NEW! I am darkly delighted to have Three David Lynch inspired poems flying next to the ceiling fan in the new Hobo Camp Review - #49 - The David Lynch Issue!

"Like a ghost angel she removes
herself from the painting
on your bedroom wall
because she doesn't belong anymore."

Creepily happy to have three of my "Doll Fingers with Bloody Scrap Metal Nails" poems making an appearance in the new Hobo Camp Review - #49 - The David Lynch Issue! 

Thank you very much to James H. Duncan and the Hobo Camp Team!

NEW! A Review of (the temporarily revived) Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, The Laura Poems!

"The abuse has begun by the time Laura is ten years old. BOB has been climbing through her bedroom window at night to molest her. She must stuff toilet paper in her heart-patterned panties to stop the bleeding.

Already, the seeds of darkness are being planted in Laura's psyche. Laura imagines being snatched up by an owl's talons, flying, then being dropped onto iron spikes. Laura says, "At least [I] can imagine / being dropped. Falling / falling / falling / in love with the dark spikes.""

from Eileen Murphy's new review of my old poetry chapbook, The Laura Poems (which was temporarily made available again in the Blood Pudding Press shop last month, in honor of Twin Peaks revival).

Thank you very much to Eileen Murphy and Glass for writing and publishing this review.

A little less than a week to get your copy of The Laura Poems...

"So long ago her smile disappeared. Years
she’s been drawing it dark. Red, black; the ants
in the sugar bowl have consumed all the sugar
and their pincers are a massive mutation.
An invasion spiked into infestation."

from a poem within "The Laura Poems" by Juliet Cook, temporarily available again in the Blood Pudding Press shop.

We Don't Stop Here (New Review of Older Lynch inspired poetry chapbook)

"in which her fingers spread her blue nails shed
like dead sequins"

A tiny snippet from Juliet Cook's poem "Lip Synching", which appears within a brand new review by Sabotage Reviews of an older poetry chapbook, "We Don't Stop Here", based on the David Lynch film Mulholland Drive and published by The Private Press in 2008.

Plathian Corpocynicism

Not to be confused with Lynchian Retromisogyny

Actually, this has nothing to do with Lynch, except for that I had him on mind because I wanted to watch Twin Peaks on Chiller with my hubby last night, but forgot to. Plus, I think I just like making up words that sound vaguely academic in some seemingly pomo way even though they're pretty much fake.

Really though, I just wanted to direct potentially interested parties' attention to my new analysis of the Sylvia Plath poem, 'An Appearance', which can be read here:

Feel free to let me know what you think.
