Beware the Ides of Morph (SEVENTEEN Mynas)
Beware the Ides of March, the Ides of Morph, a darkly delicious concoction in which Thirteen temporarily morphs into Seventeen Myna Birds!
A hauntingly sexy assortment of scrumptious goodies and horror by the likes of Molly Curtis, Corey Mesler, John Grey, Daniel G. Snethen, Joseph Harker, Trisha Low, & Stephen Caratzas.
Partake of these creatures' works here! http://13myna.blogspot.com.
Then feel free to submit to other updates in the future (the issue after this one will go back to just Thirteen new editions - two of those are MORE pieces by the above named Joseph Harker and Trisha Low - eleven of them are still open) and/or invite your friends to submit.
Below are a couple little slivers created from the current issue, pilfering and fusing tidbits from all of the new Seventeen Myna Birds creatures. Slurp.
"creatures bucked off at awful angles / music latticing the night / small, humming, lucent / golden cobwebs / spirits flanking spirits / lips stained mauve / savage orange glow / sticky sweetness / salty starvation / treacherous fashion"
"ink in my veins / open up like a ghostflower / long, slow nerve / mortifications of the flesh / the slits of her gums / have you been snorting buttercream? / the new, the dark, the glorious"

Transmogrified
I happened upon this recent mini-review and/or glance at my new POST-STROKE poetry chapbook (published by Blood Pudding Press for Dusie Kollektiv 5) written by another Dusie 5 participant, William Allegrezza (I've received his chapbook too; have not read it just yet, but am looking forward to doing so soon).
I found his review quite interesting, but was not quite aware of the definition of 'transmogrified', so looked it up on dictionary.com and found that definition quite interesting too!
Copied below is his note, followed by that word's definitions.
After that is a photo of my POST-STROKE chapbook, followed by a link to it in my Blood Pudding Press etsy shop, where you can find out more details (and read a few other mini-reviews) and/or purchase a copy for yourself.

The Daily Glance (The Kollectiv Series)
Juliet Cook's Post-Stroke is aptly titled, for the poems, we are told in a note, are "partially inspired by/related to" a stroke that Cook recently had. The craft of the book itself is worthy note since it is tied together by yarn, and the interior poems are surrounded by a cut out art image. Mine starts with some eyes starting at me, but I imagine that different chapbooks have different images. The poems are on pages cut out at different sizes, and they are fascinating for their post-traumatic experience theme.
Post-Stroke my words are not over-
ly obvious. Why on earth should my
non overly obvious poetry be dead?
In this chapbook, poetry is strongly connected to life and individual presence. It is a comfort and a tool to explore what remains, but it has been transmogrified in the experience.

New POST-STROKE poetry chapbook now available
POST - STROKE is now available!
POST - STROKE is my new 2011 poetry chapbook, created by Blood Pudding Press for DUSIE Kollektiv 5.
POST - STROKE is a small hand-designed snippet of ten new poems and more.
About a year ago, I suffered from an unexpected carotid artery dissection, bleeding out by 99%, aneurysms, and a stroke - and this strange sensation inspired the poems within this collection.
