The NEW May Flock of Thirteen Myna Birds has arrived (starting with three teaser piece poems from the new Blood Pudding Press chapbook)!
It begins with three teaser piece poems from the new Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, "POISON MOONLIGHT" by Jason O'Toole. It is filled with new poetry by John Sweet, E. Martin Pedersen, Kristin Garth, Don Thompson, R. Bremner, Tom Montag, and Yuan Changming.
"The peculiar smell of the inevitable stops time - it gets in your blood like poison does, and then you die - No longer one with the natural world - you trade strange monsters - it’s your voice of truth born of your myth of truth - glowering between Mercury and an international space station - Poppies that used to be enlightened have a jaundiced and flaccid look - Neuro-witchcraft: the hippocampus boiling a cauldron of bad memories - where images of people I’ve long forgotten dance furiously in vain hope that I’ll remember - demons start to revolt With ghosts from under the ground - been wanting to burn down this goddamn town since the day we arrived - homemade bread of disabling dread - laying eggs above alligators - In a tsunami filled with viruses & monsters - with their lopsided pentagram - Probability is half of it - We each believe our selves to be The hero on our own stage - and when i show you what i’ve written, you tell me to leave..."
