MUTANT NEURON CODEX SWARM collaboration


Delighted to make a small annoucement that Blood Pudding Press editor Juliet Cook and her collaborative creepy young yumhead poet creature, Robert Cole had their new collaborative poetry chapbook - MUTANT NEURON CODEX SWARM - accepted for publication by Hyacinth Girl Press, to be published next year! 

Hyacinth Girl Press published Juliet Cook's Thirteen Designer Vaginas in 2011 and now will be publishing her again (together with Robert Cole) three years later.

I imagine that Hyacinth Girl Press will make an official announcement after they choose all the new chapbooks they're going to publish next - but as of right now, they are still accepting and reading chapbook manuscript submissions, throughout the month of May.

Sister, Blood and Bone by Paula Cary - NEW from Blood Pudding Press



The NEW Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, Sister, Blood and Bone by Paula Cary is now available –


*

Blood Pudding Press is very pleased to announce its third new poetry chapbook of 2013, “Sister, Blood and Bone” by Paula Cary, with cover art created from the doll photo, “Steampunk Dia De Los Muertos Doll 353” by Michael Brown/ UC Studios.

Paula Cary’s ten poems within this swimming diving and skull collecting offering were inspired by her sister Lisa Cary, her muse. The poems offer small bursts of life and death and blood based connections.  Blood and bones collected from under water and saved for memories and keep sakes and art sakes.

Each chapbook is hand-bound with colorful threads pricked into colorful covers.  If you would like a specific color cover, feel free to specify in the comments section when you purchase – either light gray with circles OR medium gray OR variations of tan (or Blood Pudding Press will choose for you and surprise you.)  Also if you would like a certain color of binding thread, feel free to specify that – either soft/light/dark blue water OR multicolored bright blue/green OR multicolored bright RAINBOW flying mermaid legs.

“You are bloodless white
From the frigid depths
Your lips a literal blue
They match your eyes
And I think of sugar skulls
Dressed in colored frosting”

(from Paula Cary’s poem “After the Dive in Troy Springs”)

RENEGADE//HEART by Lisa M.Cole 

"sleep with all the dolls/ /unhook your rotary phone and watch/ /the broken chandelier as it swings like a marionette/ / listen…” 

(from 2)

AND

Poking through the Fabric of the Light that Formed Us: Songs and Stories to Read in the Mirror by Lora Bloom 

“the beer in my blood washed through my thighs I could feel the trickle of my 
period waiting deep in my belly, the swelling of the rounded moon reflected there
from the towering window, crashing rain sang a fall midnight call, thunder
echoed against the walls of the sky I closed my eyes writhing under cold lens
like a microscope creature death pangs under eye of cold light”

(from Green Frog Princess)
