A NEW Review of the Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook "i saw god cooking children / paint their bones" by john compton

"It’s not just ‘pretty,’ it is engaging and transportive; it can be beatific / horrific but always has an effect beyond two dimensions. IMAGERY is visceral."

NEW! A Review of the Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, Cutting Eyes from Ghosts!

"Bodily disintegration, decay, brokenness, and darkness are predominant images in this "new" world the ghosts find themselves in — although one may argue that this world has been (and is) here all along, that there is nothing new about it at all.
Interestingly, the ghosts in these poems share some anxieties in common with living human beings: desire, hunger, pain, cessation of breathing, and the brokenness that is reflected in broken, decomposing bodies (the disappearing home)."
From a very interesting new review of the Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, "Cutting Eyes from Ghosts" by Ariana D. Den Bleyker.
Thank you very much to Mary Riley and Glass Poetry Press for writing and publishing this review.

New Review of Pigeons and Peace Doves by Matthew J. Hall

"On the surface this may seem depressing, and people who want flowery life is wonderful, everybody is happy messages shoved up their asses probably won’t relate to this, but if you’ve ever struggled to want to keep living, a book like this helps the journey."

from a new review by Peter Jelen of the Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, "Pigeons and Peace Doves" by Matthew J. Hall

NEW Review of Pigeons and Peace Doves by Matthew J. Hall (Blood Pudding Press 2015)

A new review of the 2015 Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, "Pigeons and Peace Doves" by Matthew J. Hall.
***
The book is beautifully hand-crafted & is bound by a stem of fine multi-coloured rolled wool. The pages are ultra smooth and when you hold them to the light they sparkle like scattered gold stars. Recently asked about the symbolic import of the title ‘Pigeons & Peace Doves’, Hall mentioned that pigeons “are representative of a kind of urban sadness which I guess is a theme for me overall. The Peace Dove represents hope- which hopefully- does come through the poems."
This ambivalence between sadness and hope is a key feature of Hall’s fledgling writing. Descriptions of the vibrancy of life in its full bloom are sometimes tempered with thoughts of despair, decay and death.

(NEW) Poet Hound Reviews RENEGADE//HEART

POET HOUND writes about my POISONOUS BEAUTYSKULL LOLLIPOP

"I planted my oranges with teeth.
I offered my crush a piece of spiked fruit.
Next thing I knew, he was missing an arm.

Could this be transcendence in a new-fangled way,
or were we just consuming each other?"

from my poem Venus Tree, which appears within my 2013 poetry chapbook, POISONOUS BEAUTYSKULL LOLLIPOP, published by/available from Grey Book Press, here - http://www.greybookpress.com/index.php/site/ind/poisonous_candy/

“a distillation of voluntary mutilation”


Women don’t necessarily go around bragging about their brand new vaginas, but these moments of honesty are what make Cook’s concoction a voracious critique, sometimes cheering for and sometimes against “snazzy tassels atop her misshapen meat curtain.”

A quote from Dolly Lemke's new review of my poetry chapbook Thirteen Designer Vaginas.
