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.

what is this, a pie eating contest for anorexics?

I'm very pleased that I've almost completed a new designer vagina!

I had kind've thought I had lost the impetus or inspiration for that series, but now it's back and I'm pretty happy about that. The latest piece includes the line, 'What is this, a pie eating contest for anorexics?'

Speaking of force feeding, I've been experiencing more than usual weird bad dreams lately. I don't feel like talking about all of them, but here's a small synopsis of sorts of two.

1. My dog and I had been kidnapped a...
