poetry research (vaginas & poltergeists)

Today I typed myself into a search engine (I do this from time to time; let's just call it "poetry research") and happened upon this bizarre page called Vagina Connoisseur that randomly features a quote from one of my poems:

http://vaginaconnoisseur.com/

What the heck is going on here? I didn't willingly contribute my quote to this site. Does this have something to with my designer vagina poetry or maybe my new hair cut?

While I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this, I can't say I'm entirely...

prayers for children, possibly blasphemous

Because possibly blasphemous is the best.

I'm not quite sure why I'm still up, though. Getting almost too bleary-eyed to type articulately. Plus, I have PMS. Plus, I'm not exactly convinced by my latest hair cut. BUT. That aside.

I'm here to say that my dog's newest lover is an entire bolt of fabric in a garish fake red velvet. I have the photos to prove it. Soon, I'll be blackmailing my own dog.

Also wrote a new designer vagina this evening, partly inspired by a childhood memory, although that ...

awkward insertion of meat hook

If you were desiring a more peculiar tease about FONDANT PIG ANGST then what I offered below, you're in luck. You can now read a book blurb from a robot.

I came to Juliet Cook's collection, Fondant Pig Angst, for glimpses into what it means to be human. I navigated my way through the detritus of the living -- took silk in my mouth, floated in a vat of tapioca, awkwardly inserted the meat hook. Cook's voice has disemboweled my assemblage, replaced my casing's wires with warped strings. If I am ...

It's coming!

FONDANT PIG ANGST coming soon!

See the Slash Pine Press blog:

In other news, my new hair cut kinda makes me look like a cockatoo.

ever so slightly belated Halloween treats

Happy November.

I wasn't feeling very well yeterday (drank the wrong mixer the night before), so didn't manage to make mention here of a few little Halloween treats of the poetic variety.

Firstly, my poem 'The Paper Dolls' debuted at Abjective on Halloween. Abjective publishes one poem/story/text every Saturday and how delightful for me that my Saturday was Halloween. Read the poem here:

Secondly, I published a special Halloween edition of Thirteen Myna Birds last nigh...

my latest designer vagina in diagram

Okay for those of you perverts who are reading this because of the title, but aren't in the know, my designer vaginas are poems--and the diagram is an uber-fabulous online poetry magazine.

It's one of my favorite online poetry magazines, so I'm extremely pleased to have one of my designer vaginas doing its designer vagina thing in the new issue, 9.5, surrounded by other fine poems and weird diagrams and suchlike.

HORRIFIC CONFECTION soon to be consumed forevermore

I only have ten print copies still available of my very first full-length poetry collection, HORRIFIC CONFECTION, so I thought I'd send out a little heads up to potentially interested parties who may have been delaying their gratification for some strange sexual reason or putting off its acquisition until the time was right. The time is RIGHT NOW, dark dumplings!
My HORRIFIC CONFECTION would make a macabre Halloween delight or a sordidly delectable Xmas gift, but soon it shall be too late.
Fin...

more poetry reading photos

A few more photos from last week's poetry reading (pilfered from Christina Brooks's camera); if you missed my video footage from the event, please feel free to scroll down a couple entries to see it.
Also, here is a fun little article I wrote about gross American foodstuffs: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2304081/ten_unusual_and_possibly_gross_food.html?cat=16
Also, related to my continued work with local independent film company, CutThroat Entertainment, we are now offering...
