Happy first day of December! "Your Mouth is Moving Backwards" (my new poetry chapbook) is now available!
"In this diorama, a mental conflagration
is connected with the speed of the ceiling fan.
It turns itself off and on, grows into an over rotating form of abuse.
A repetitive malformation in which
her arms are forced behind her back in bed again.
Her sheets are ripped off to strangle her."
(in the poem "Invaded Cores")
The 28 poems in this collection are filled with internal and external violenceand abuse, chaotic horror and entrapment, humans trapped behind walls or inbeds, dolls thrown down the stairs and hiding in partially contained places,dolls pretending to be humans, humans pretending to be dolls, humans fusedtogether with evil.
Some of the inspiration for some of the poems partlyderived from Twin Peaks. 15 poems in the collection have the title "FLESHWORLD", which comes from the name of a magazine in Twin Peaks. But thereare other titles too and other inspirations and insinuations too, including my own experiences, thoughts, and feelings doused into dark red poetry.
