Tentacular Splatter
After working on this painting collage art hybrid creature (on & off) for a long time, I finally finished it this past weekend, named it Tentacular Splatter, and added it to my Blood Pudding Press shop.This is a scan of (part of) it and in the next few days, I MIGHT use images of some of my scans and/or photos to create small glossy photo images of the painting/collage that I MIGHT also make available in the shop,but I'm not sure yet.The actual one-of-a-kind canvas painting collage is linked to below and I'll post some photos of the image soon.Tentacular Splatter - https://www.etsy.com/listing/666679407/tentacular-splatter-one-of-a-kind?ref=shop_home_feat_2
A wonderful NEW review of my poetry chapbook, "SOFT FOAM"!
Another wonderful review by Casey Kiser, of another poetry chapbook of mine, "Soft Foam"!
"Currently, my absolute favorite Juliet Cook collection. Though, I have a lot to go.
I got half-way through and had to call my drug dealer.
I put her poetry in the genre of gateway drug ;)
This is some fine-tuned chaotic brilliance. An insomniac's delight.
She is quite a master of words. Every poem in this one left me drooling.
Absolute favorites: ALL OF THEM, 'Squiggles in Wonderland'.
Maybe, once I collect all Juliet's books, I will just giveaway my tv.
'This drunk compliments my legs.
I compliment my own legs in my head
in an other's voice. All it takes
to induce another fantasy.'
-From 'Sink or Float (drunk fantasy)"

"10 stars out of 5.
Absolutely one of the most unique and special books I've ever had in my hands."
An awesome new mini-review of my mini poetry chapbook, "POST-STROKE" (thank you to Casey Kiser)

"A wonderful collection of short poems, as I read each one I felt it was describing those Rorschach images. Some really incredible imagery. Favourite was "Crepuscular Creep" very creepy and also crepuscular is a word that isn't used enough these days."

"Deadly Doll Dead Dissection" inside my Malformed Confetti and me wearing a doll head
"Deadly doll head dissection. A dolly crematorium, an almost life less
doll. A doll scatterbrained, a doll agitating until it barfs up more awful
doll head gobbledygook. A spitting and hacking doll. Spinning, falling
and flailing inside the doll vomitorium. A dark doll somnambulating and
throwing up"
from the introductory poem creature,"Deadly Doll Head Dissection", which starts off my new poetry book, "Malformed Confetti", published by Crisis Chronicles Press, October 2018.

MALFORMED CONFETTI has found another new home!
"...They weren’t anybody else’s
art project. They were mine.
I poked holes to try to drain them,
but they just bubbled up into more
ghost ignitions. They are mine,
but they don’t come when called.
They come whenever they want to.
When they come I have to balance
rickety dishes of spoiled milk upon
precarious ledges..."
from the poem Parasitic Twin, within my poetry book 'Malformed Confetti'.
this photo was taken by Thursday Simpson, who received a copy of the Malformed Confetti!
