NEW! The May Flock of Thirteen Myna Birds has arrived!

Orchidvirus by MISHThe NEW May flock of Thirteen Myna Birds is here, filled with poetry/art by Eileen Murphy, Sara Lefsyk, Patrick Hurley, Sarah Nichols, MISH, and Sara Minges!

"during this time of pandemic - Sky is cloudless; birds don't sing - and the days Are quiet as death - gargling instead of brushing teeth - I’m transcribing documents that were written by ghosts with feathers and dust - Shift managers and supervisors demand and take - take these new pills and calm down - the control module has been jammed by fragments - a doll falling out of a tree - faster than cancer - we were wearing the dress of altered states - I was rolling around in some flowers with vomit in my hair - the shape of spilled fluid - enter the final labyrinth - every sky ends with nameless colors - flowers carry sickness here - I speak the language of darkness - we carry the burdens of ourselves and our sisters - I had on the face of an animal over the mask of a girl"

NEW! Three of my Museum of Impending Death poems appear in Burning House Press!

"Brimming with stark contrasts, alternating currents

between freaked out, productive, freaked out,

creative, wondering if I’m going to die from this.

If I’m going to melt down inside this ongoing vortex.

Thousands of broken wings get sucked into numbers,

spiral down, crack into the ground, vanish."

Three of my Museum of Impending Death poems are up at Burning House Press today!

Another NEW Review of my new poetry chapbook - The Rabbits With Red Eyes!

This woman writes the best reviews of my books ever! I mean I don't even think she knows how into David Lynch I am and she references Lynch in a review of my latest poetry chapbook!?!  I happen to be drinking too as I read this review, but this review is fucking great, as far as I'm concerned!

Here's the beginning:

"So......
Yeah. This book. Um....
You know the feeling when you're 3/4 thru a David Lynch movie late on a Saturday night and you've had a few drinks and you have no effing clue as to what is going on, because your reality is mixing with Lynch's reality and nothing is real but everything is a little too real and it overwhelms you and you wanna get up and get another drink but now you're too freaked out to rise from your sunken place on the couch and then you start crying and suddenly there are rabbits and violent confusion, and anxiety completely consumes you but then you are laughing and the credits roll and you sit there for another hour in your own piss and tears and just feel so thankful for this art.
Same feeling with this book."

NEW in the Museum of Poetry - my VIRAL CONTAGION is alive!

"This character throws upon 10 other characters, then drools slime on 20 more. Hidden subcutaneous missiles shoot down 100 dogs in a row.
Poisonous bugs crawl inside their mouths.Giant poisonous bugs crawl all the way upto the top of my ceiling then jump downinto my mouth while I'm trying to sleep."
