New! My poem "My Teeth Have Been Loose For Years" appears in Rogue Agent, Issue 77!

"The lineup of blood
drenched animal crackers
is hiding deep down underneath
so many tiny broken beds.

Scared little girls can only gain control
if they turn into different creatures
if they bite off the heads and spit."

the beginning of my poem MY TEETH HAVE BEEN LOOSE FOR YEARS, in the NEW Issue 77 of Rogue Agent!

Very excited to have my poem included!

A NEW July/August Flock of Thirteen Myna Birds is Here!

Just in time for the last weekend of July launching into the first Sunday and week of August, a NEW flock of Thirteen Myna Birds has arrived! Offering poetry by Jason O'Toole, Louise Robertson, Scott Ferry, Howie Good, Carol Ellis, Vickie Iorio, and Edward Lee!

"how can i love when the howling floor keeps howling open? - sharp tooth creatures stir unseen - covered in blood, the moon twists and turns - midwifed by the angel of despair - Closer to being found dead, perhaps in this blue armchair - with the darkness of a punctured shoebox - choking in her easy chair - see leather, distressed when they look at each other’s skin - The ship malfunctions. Their sanity frays. They slowly turn against one another. - They carry betrayal in their stomachs, in that series of pouches - bursting tiny envelopes, purple-red stains - i step up to the vinyl torsos - I did not tell her it is science not secrets that make things true - The ground is littered with used paper face masks - Fire burns a smile across the sky" Read more HERE - https://13myna.blogspot.com/

A NEW Review of the Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook "i saw god cooking children / paint their bones" by john compton

"It’s not just ‘pretty,’ it is engaging and transportive; it can be beatific / horrific but always has an effect beyond two dimensions. IMAGERY is visceral."

as she lives inside the garbage can, un-bagged,
praying she won’t get completely thrown away."
