"There is a tree in my backyard from which pus-filled boils hang - At night I hear creaks coming from my dresser - Torpor trapped beneath fish scales - In the middle of a cloud of expectations - the perfect synthetic Mate - I thought I could escape him but he was everywhere - there was always something unpleasant in the weeds - the racing of rabbits racing through my mind - the antichrist to her cheer section - if I can push myself through the undying light of every morning and the corrosive darkness of every night, then I can be here and do this - make a wish for yourself that she'll morph into instant dead dandelion - Rain connecting endings that nobody likes - nobody told me I would miss it so much - My eyes dominated by the vain desire to be young - the sound a grapefruit makes when pried apart - the objects so alive were still so far removed - but now spits out the seeds and core - dust is mostly made from skin cells..."

i saw god cooking children / paint their bones by john compton (Blood Pudding Press, 2020) has found a new home!

John Burroughs received new books today, including the new Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, "i saw god cooking children / paint their bones" with poems by john compton, cover art by Sandra Feen, and an inside review/blurb by Burroughs himself!

Here is Burroughs' review:

"I keep devouring this chapbook over and over because john compton’s work richly rewards repeat readings.

i saw god cooking children / paint their bones showcases the best of it with delightfully rich detail, fine turns of phrase and lean and engaging true tales.

Blood Pudding Press’ wonderful handcrafted artistry gives you another reason to want to keep picking it up.

But instead of going on and on about how much I like this collection, I encourage you to procure your own copy and see what I mean."

—John Burroughs, Ohio Beat Poet Laureate, 2019-2021, and author of Rattle and Numb.

Thank you to John Burroughs for this photo and his review 💜!

Offering poetry and art by Daniel Snethen, Sandra Feen, John Grey, MISH, John Sweet, Ashley Cox, Eileen Murphy, Aaron Pride, and Wayne F Burke.

"through enameled bobbing horses against the centripetal force - You’re awakened in early light by blood dripping from the ceiling - Something's Up - the sound of baby bones breaking - in broken-down beds - I am a terminal node branched away from the circuit of perfection - my eyes crash through their sockets and I flail at the darkness - sometimes it hurts to be alone - Nurse, can you up the pain meds?"
