NEW! A Review of my poetry chapbook, "Another Set of Ripped-Out Bloody Pigtails"!

This is part of an interesting review I recently received from someone who recently purchased a few poetry chapbooks from my Blood Pudding Press shop. The chapbook they are commenting on here is actually a chapbook of my poetry that was published by The Poet's Haven in 2019, but I still have some available, as linked to below.

"Many thanks for the shipment of books. I opened your ‘Another Set of Ripped-Out…’ and knew from your poetic demands re: ‘fake pig legs’ on page one that I would like your aesthetic!

Vicious. Aggressive. Relentless. Aggravated. Enpustulated. Furious.

It is a hell of a book. I want to read more of your stuff."

(by Jade Schapiro)

A NEW mini review of "Another Set of Ripped-Out Bloody Pigtails"

"The book is bursting with strange, dark and beautiful creativity. Juliet’s books / items are unique and inspiring."

from a mini-review by Casey Renee Kiser of my "Another Set of Ripped-Out Bloody Pigtails" poetry chapbook, published a few months ago by The Poet's Haven ❤️🖤❤️

I still have several of my own copies left and you can acquire one from my Blood Pudding Press shop here

A Very Sad Loss

Very saddened and upset to find out that Vertigo Xi'an Xavier has suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. This is awful, terrible, and totally unfair.

Vertigo was a genuinely unique, truly one-of-a-kind, supportive, open-minded, oddly-amusing, creative, hard-working poetry creature who performed, wrote, Slamministrated, edited and published (he started his small press, The Poet's Haven, way back in 1997!).

He was a weirdo and he was super-duper nice. I never heard him trash or attack anyone else (which seems to be a rare trait to come by these days), except for via Super Villian Politics ("We oppose everything that has been doing the world harm and will force the world back on to the path of forward progress... whether it wants us to or not.").

He invited me and my teeny tiny press to poetry readings and events when I was relatively new to the area and felt like I hardly had any friends and he helped get me involved with poetry stuff around my new location.

At the end of April, he bought my recent poetry chapbook, "DARK PURPLE INTERSECTIONS" at a little coffee shop book fair that both of our presses had tables at - and then just this past May, his press published my most recent poetry chapbook, "Another Set Of Ripped-Out Bloody Pigtails".

He always had tons of new creative projects in the works and it is extremely upsetting that he is suddenly gone way too soon.

He will be missed by many members of the poetry community and he will be missed by my Blood Pudding Press and by me.

Vertigo and Juliet

"He said he was so sick of trying, so sick
of hearing my sick voice trying
to force itself into him and so soon
I wouldn't have a voice anymore."

a few lines from the poem "What Do You Think You Deserve?"

Another Set of Ripped-Out Bloody Pigtails has arrived!

"I don’t know what made me
so sharp edged. I don’t know what hung me
above the undertow and made me watch

my own stingers grow, buzz more fiercely,
overtake then undertake the moon,
maroon my hive into a mutant cocoon."

Part of my poem, "Fault Lines in My Mouth", which appears within my new chapbook, "Another Set Of Ripped-Out Bloody Pigtails", newly published by The Poet's Haven!

I received my author copies in the mail today! Here's a photo!

I received my author copies of "Another Set Of Ripped-Out Bloody Pigtails"!

"Maybe I'm a witch bird with one broken wing.
You want to break off my other one and stick it in
your box of right and wrong and tell me
what I should do and who I should be.

Maybe I only have one eye left and you
can hardly wait to cut it off,
sew something different inside
my ripped hole, teach me another lesson
for everything I’ve done with my empty sockets.

Create me anew, the way you want me to be
instead of letting me be
my own contorted self."

Part of my poem, "Broken Baby Bird Mouth", which appears within my new chapbook, "Another Set Of Ripped-Out Bloody Pigtails", newly published by The Poet's Haven!

I'm excited to report that I received my copies of the chapbook in the mail today! I'll post photos soon.
