Midwestern Gothic Poetry Reading (& More)

A recently received video of me reading 'Midwestern Gothic', the first poem from my chapbook 'Fondant Pig Angst' published by Slash Pine Press PLUS this reading was part of a big Slash Pine Press extravaganza this past April.

Thank you for the video Aunt Di & Sandy and thanks to yummy Slash Pine Press.

Poetry Book Review Notes & Linkage

I am mentioning this here because I sometimes post links to my various Associated Content articles on Facebook and Twitter and recently I posted a link to a poetry book review I wrote a while back whereupon a woman mentioned to me that she really liked reading my book reviews, but was not crazy about reading them on Associated Content because of all the ads appearing on that site. I understood where she was coming from and did not disagree, but the main reason that I post them on Associated C...

More Grotesque Poltergeistism

I grew up in a midwestern area with lots of farms, farm equipment, and cornfields. I love various aspects of the gothic, the grotesque, strangely scary Ouija Board snippets, poltergeistism as unusual female powers and other creepy yumminess. Some thinks that are yummy to me might be grotesque to others. Do you think I care? Well, part of me does. Part of me really wishes to be myself (including my strange, dark, oddball interests); but part of me is bothered by the semi-unacceptable aspects o...

NEW Notes From a Dissected Poet

"I'm not a dead animal and my brain is better than that of a fetal pig. However, I still have not fully recovered from the results of my stroke and its resultant aphasia."

That is one line from my new article about the matter here: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/5602556/full_length_dissection.html?cat=70

P.S. I did make a small mistake within my article - in this line I used the wrong link - "If anyone would like to help me out a little bit and partake of your own creative goods, it w...

Darkly Delicious Blood Pudding Press PLUS Poetry

I've recently been adding new goodies to my Blood Pudding Press shop and some of you might be interesed in checking that site out from time to time, since my goodies are very well priced and some of them are selling out pretty quickly. Blood Pudding Press's last set of Vintage Skeleton Keys just sold out and only one more set of Holy Cards currently remains, but the shop is still offering a few other kinds of Religious Ephemera, a few Vintage Post Cards, a few Vintage Dish Towels, a few odd-c...

Full-Length Dissection/Toxic Cheesecake

For days upon days and hours upon hours recently, I worked hard at assembling my second full-length poetry collection, so that I could submit it to a source I adore, which was accepting submissions up through July 15. I sent my submission their way the night of July 14, so pretty much just in time. Yay!

I imagine very many writers will submit there, so who knows how their readings will turn out, but I am very happy I am trying. Also, whether or not my collection is accepted by them, it now exi...
