NEW Review of the Blood Pudding Press chapbook 'LETTERS FROM ROOM 27...' by Margaret Bashaar

The first review of the latest Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook - LETTERS FROM ROOM 27 OF THE GRAND MIDWAY HOTEL by Margaret Bashaar - reviewed by Burning River!

Here is a snippet - "What fascinates me about this collection and why you should pick it up are two things. There is the voice and writing of Margaret riding that razor line describing the world in three parts: the way we want it, the way it really is, and then what the omniscient say it is. But then there is the concept of the book itself. It is built like a haunted room of an old hotel."

The First Review of Juliet Cook's Thirteen Designer Vaginas

"As in all Cook's work, there is wonderfully dynamic wordplay, an undercurrent of horror and little tolerance for the candy-coated comforts..."

A small snippet from the very first review of Juliet Cook's Thirteen Designer Vagina's poetry chapbook now appears on the Melusine blog, here:

Thank you very much to Melusine editor Janelle Elyse Kihlstrom AND of course to Hyacinth Girl Press, which published the chapbook.

Here is another snippet from the review:

"In these poems Cook's signature motif of the "doll injection mold" is applied to the one aspect of anatomy the cookiecutter-variety plastic girl's doll explicitly lacks but which, for the adult woman, has nevertheless failed to escape the influence of the "injection mold" philosophy of shame for any sort of deviance from an arbitrarily prescribed ideal."

Here is where you can buy yourself a copy of the chapbook if so inclined:
