local

In local artsy crafty indie news, I am in the beginning stages of new involvement with two appealing Columbus area entities.

1. I am going to start working on some volunteer projects of a writing/editing/promotional nature for a new independent film-making company called CutThroat Entertainment. Their first movie, a horror flick, has already wrapped filming and is scheduled to premiere this coming October. Their second movie, a documentary about an ordinary guy trying to work his way into the c

latest

I posted some Blood Pudding Press scoopage on the Blood Pudding Press blog. Click bloody telekinetic girl to slurp it up.

I'd also like to mention that the summer issue of Melusine went live last night and includes a rather squalid new poem by yours truly, as well as a new review of my full-length book, 'Horrific Confection:

I might elaborate on the issue after I myself have devoured it.

I reorganized the look of this site a bit, particularly the right hand side bar, to hopefully be a tad more user-friendly. I also added a couple sections for my local content articles and travel articles. Hopefully, I'll be adding more content to those sections soon. In the meantime, if you desire to read more articles by yours truly, might I recommend that you pay a visit to the Blood Pudding Press blog (just click that lovely bloody telekinetic female to your right) and check out THAT right ha

DUSIE DOOZY

I'm on page 307 in the doozy of a Dusie Issue 8!

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6654316-dusie-issue-8

with a little ditty called "Midwestern Gothic".

This is a whopper of a literary magazine, with all kinds of multfarious materials to read. So far, I'm only on page 85, so much exciting reading awaits!

It's a free, downloadable e-book. After you click the link above, you'll see a little box of information about Dusie Issue 8. Look to the right of that box for the download button.

Enjoy!

cross-posting from the bloody ooze

bells and whistles?

So I just happened upon a bad review of the 2008 Blood Pudding Press chapbook w i n g'd by Kyle Simonsen. Personally, I love the chapbook (duh, I published it); indeed, I recently reread it for my own pleasure and reliked it just as much as I did more than a year ago. Not so for reviewer Melinda Wilson. She was very much less than impressed.

This review was written last month, but I wasn't alerted to it (I sent review copies to coldfront a while ago); I just stumbled upon it to

segments

A little over a month ago, I applied to be a freelance writer for the Onion News Network. This involved a fairly extensive and time consuming application process, but I was glad to give it a good shot. A few days ago, I found out I didn't get the job, which was a bit disappointing, but not terribly surprising, as I'm sure competition was tough, plus part of the application process involved writing a script, which is an area in which I have little to no experience. Heck, I don't have much come

seven minutes in heaven

It's already been described as 'outrageously pungent' by poet & critic Adam Fieled.

Now my new print poetry chapbook PINK LEOTARD & SHOCK COLLAR has elicited a comparison to the Lunachicks. Say what?

Yes, poet Kate Durbin said the series of Slumber Party Scandals within the chapbook reminded her of this Lunachicks song--'Light as a Feather':



Does this mean my poems are like the soundtrack for some kind of crude after-dark roller derby?

Put on your striped thigh highs, listen to the song, buy the boo

Tongue Like a Stinger

My latest e-chapbook, Tongue Like a Stinger, has just been published by Wheelhouse Press. Please feel free to check it out here:

http://www.wheelhousemagazine.com/chapbook/cook.pdf

A sort of hybrid of older work with new material, this chapbook might appeal to those who find some of my latest poetry a little too visceral or in-your-face for their liking. The 'Tongue Like a Stinger' collection is slightly more subtle; not a lot more subtle, just slightly.

It's about birds and bees and fur and tentac
