"In this diorama, a mental conflagration
is connected with the speed of the ceiling fan.
It turns itself off and on, grows into an over rotating form of abuse.
A repetitive malformation in which
her arms are forced behind her back in bed again.
Her sheets are ripped off to strangle her."(in the poem "Invaded Cores")

Happy first day of December 2023! I am extremely excited,
delighted, and thrilled to have my new poetry chapbook, "Your Mouth is
Moving Backwards" officially available from the wonderful independent press,
Ethel Zine & Micro Press, as of today!
Just in time for the holidays and the New Year, at least for those of you who
have peculiarly quirky gift lists involving strange, dark, emotionally twisted
poetry.
The 28 poems in this collection are filled with internal and external violence
and abuse, chaotic horror and entrapment, humans trapped behind walls or in
beds, dolls thrown down the stairs and hiding in partially contained places,
dolls pretending to be humans, humans pretending to be dolls, humans fused
together with evil.
Some of the inspiration for some of the poems partly
derived from Twin Peaks. 15 poems in the collection have the title "FLESH
WORLD", which comes from the name of a magazine in Twin Peaks. But there
are other titles too and other inspirations and insinuations too, including my own experiences, thoughts, and feelings doused into dark red poetry.
