NEW Thirsty Bones by Sarah Lilius (Blood Pudding Press 2017)
"Moments make girls
into women with blood
down white thighs.Make a boy into Zeus without honor.

made of sticks and stones,
bones and flesh."from the poem "Leda's Repression" by Sarah Lilius,within her NEW Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, Thirsty Bones

NEW in The Rising Phoenix Review - Doll Blood Spattering
"This modern doll group is better than everyone else.
Even if their doll brains are evil, mean-spirited, laced
with fake frosting and more dirty than rats.Even if their doll group agenda is to secretly slink
their long doll tails behind the back of their fancy frilled skirts,
load those tails with venom, then use them to lash out,to slash out the hearts of individual dolls who don’t fit in
to their scene. If one of these modern dolls offers you
a smile and uses the word love in your face, it is fake.Love love love love love love love has been programmedinto their pretty rotten doll teeth..."

NEW in Maudlin House - a poem by j/j hastain and Juliet Cook
"...This cocktail won’t stop
sparkling and sizzling in between
my fine lines. The driver
asks me if my lips are stuck
with red punch. The driver
tells me to get out of his car and jumpinto the punch bowl and eat
a dead fish shaped like a jelly bean
covered in sea salt frosting and slime."

NEW! Thirsty Bones by Sarah Lilius is now newly available from Blood Pudding Press
Thirsty Bones is a NEW Blood Pudding Press 2017 poetry chapbook, containing 20 poems by Sarah Lilius.A powerful emotional political statement about the female body. How it can be viewed and treated like a toy, victimized, abused and then just overlooked or ignored. How it can live on, fight back, and will not be silenced and will not feel obligated to keep its own experiences or genuine feelings or individual self a secret.How nobody else should think they have the power to be in charge of your own body based choices.***"Rape, you are an animal.
The media gives you cookies,
you’ve grown fat, snarling from the cave.
I open my eyes to your terror.Your world has been created.
We need to cut the power to your brightness,
lights flicker, this lightning is not fireflies
wild against dark sky, waiting for palms to cup.We need more sound. To open our chests, display
lungs and let out the words.
Women, your screams, even muffled,
weren’t silent. They grow inside, canyons of dirty sound."from the poem [ ] Culture***Get your own copy of Thirsty Bones HERE - https://www.etsy.com/shop/BloodPuddingPress?ref=seller-platform-mcnav§ion_id=20952110

NEW! A Review of (the temporarily revived) Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, The Laura Poems!
"The abuse has begun by the time Laura is ten years old. BOB has been climbing through her bedroom window at night to molest her. She must stuff toilet paper in her heart-patterned panties to stop the bleeding.Already, the seeds of darkness are being planted in Laura's psyche. Laura imagines being snatched up by an owl's talons, flying, then being dropped onto iron spikes. Laura says, "At least [I] can imagine / being dropped. Falling / falling / falling / in love with the dark spikes.""
