My NEW poetry chapbook, REVOLTING, is now available from CUL-DE-SAC OF BLOOD!

I am very excited about my NEW darkly delicious and creepily disconcerting 2024 poetry chapbook, "REVOLTING", published by and newly available from CUL-DE-SAC OF BLOOD!

It is available along with 3 other poetry chapbooks ("Blood Bath" by Christine Kanownik - "Friday the 13th" by Jonathan Minton - "watch for deer" by Michael Sikkema).

All 4 have interconnected cover art by Kayte Terry!

All 4 are newly available NOW!

All 4 can be purchased together in a bundle for only $28 (which includes shipping).

OR they can be purchased individually for $8 each (which includes shipping) OR in sets of 2 or 3!

They are available from CUL-DE-SAC OF BLOOD here! - https://www.culdesacofblood.com/books

Please support small presses and also keep in mind that poetry chapbooks could make uniquely delightful holiday gifts (or anytime gifts) for those who adore or are inspired by poetry!

(I also have some extra copies of my REVOLTING chapbook if anyone would like to purchase directly from me for the same price. Just ask me. But I also recommend buying more than one from the uniquely wonderful small press that published them all.) ***
The next time you assume
that I worship the same way as you,
all the wall hangings will violently crash,
all the splayed remnants will come back to life
in different incarnations. Thirteen mice

you killed without thinking twice
will emerge from my mouth, convulsing,
convoluted, hurling into screaming incantations,
their tiny skulls temporarily paralyzing you,
so that you can't keep on ignoring me.

a small excerpt from my poem "Thirteen Mice", which appears inside REVOLTING

My Blood Pudding Press will not be running a chapbook contest this year BUT does have a special offer this week...

Since this is around the time of year when Blood Pudding Press has been running its poetry chapbook contest the last few years (in order to choose the few chapbooks to publish the next year), I've started to receive questions about when the contest will be taking place this year, when we'll be reading chapbook submissions, and how to submit to Blood Pudding Press.

Here are the short answers.

-BLOOD PUDDING PRESS IS NOT GOING TO RUN A CHAPBOOK CONTEST THIS YEAR in order to choose which chapbooks to publish next year.

-BLOOD PUDDING PRESS IS NOT ACCEPTING CHAPBOOK SUBMISSIONS AT THIS TIME, unless I specifically solicit work from you or ask you to send me something for some reason.

-Blood Pudding Press is tentatively planning to take a mini-hiatus for 2016. What's a mini-hiatus? Well, the press will still exist and the chapbooks we've published will still be available, but instead of directing lots of time, attention, and energy on reading lots of new submissions, I will focus on continuing to support and promote the work that has already been published and considering how I might want to re-direct and re-work my press for the future.

***

Thirteen Myna Birds, the online blog style lit mag semi-associated with Blood Pudding Press, is still accepting submissions right now, although that forum might also be re-worked a bit in the coming year.

***

The Blood Pudding Press shop is still open as of right now, although that might be re-located to a different space within the coming year.

***

For one week, from NOW UNTIL (and including) DECEMBER 13, Blood Pudding Press will be running an extra-special holiday offer.

AND in addition to that, each purchaser will be receiving one FREE ITEM too, as long as you note which FREE ITEM you'd like.

MORE Blood Pudding Press Halloween Treats!

Now the Blood Pudding Press shop offers a new one of a kind, hand painted pottery mummy zombie mug, which would be oh so strangely fun for drinking coffee, tea, mummy juice, zombie blood or whatever else you choose to slurp into.

Its multi-mutant colors include different variations/malformations of red and black and dark purple and gray on the outside. One bright red eye; one light purple eye.

Its innards include reds and black too - and also a spew of chartreuse.

Speaking of strange innards, of course there are also the darkly delicious oodles of BPP poetry chapbooks!

Check it all out within the BPP etsy shop here - http://www.etsy.com/shop/BloodPuddingPress

In my pipeline (and hopefully coming soon): blurbs for upcoming books by Mairead Byrne, Charles Freeland, Mark Lamoureux, and Susan Slaviero--reviews of already published books by Karyna McGlynn and Matt Jasper--some sort of treatise for January's feminist poet forum on Delirious Hem--etc... No wonder I haven't had much time for my own poetry lately, but I'm pleased to report that I did begin work on a new poem today. Hurrah!
