NEW in The Rising Phoenix Review - Breast Meat

"We do our best to stand out
as chickens. We cluck and we pluck and we pop
another egg. We paint it, try to make it
look new and exciting, but it leaks."
from my poem "Breast Meat"

A Powerful New Review of the New "Fuck Cancer Poems" by Michael Grover (thank you to Matthew J Hall)!

"These poems, as I’m sure you’ve gathered from the chapbook’s title, are a personal exclamation toward malignancy. The author, Michael Grover, has been told he might have cancer; there is, however, a further diagnosis here that extends beyond the poet’s liver. There are tumours which have spread wild and rapidly as they chew through the hope of a better society...

By comparing his own disease to the fractured state of these bizarre times, the poet humanises the fractures and reminds us that we are being hollowed out, dumbed down and nullified by a bullshit, self-serving, cancerous zeitgeist."

from a powerful new review by Matthew J. Hall of the Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, "Fuck Cancer Poems" by Michael Grover.

Snethen, John Thomas, Leona Vander Molen, and Steve Sibra."Funeral parlor waiting room walls - The Shaman have committed suicide - your head is like a black hole of sadness - A fleeting apparition of ghostly beauty - the coastal sprawl that stinks - quite an immense creature - To the center of the universe or to the epicenter of this enigma we call life - spent youth under dark tables - their legs, mostly necrotic from high sugar - she pets the wallpaper while we eat - I wrap copper wire on her ankles - I keep my removed teeth in a bag, waiting..."HERE - https://13myna.blogspot.com/
