The New August Flock of Thirteen Myna Birds Has Arrived!

The NEW August flock of Thirteen Myna Birds has arrived and features SEVENTEEN new poems by Ariana D. Den Bleyker, Kelle Grace Gaddis, Ann Randlette, James Croal Jackson, Donna Dallas, Aimee Bounds, Michael A. Griffith, Wayne F. Burke, Jacalyn Shelley, and Bonnie MacAllister!

"Mania gave me summer in an envelope - There’s a death in the air floating up towards our window - She dives into brackish lagoons - before the transition to zero - missing limbs, now sprinkling down - Feathers on fire - beauty burnt to bone - against the swollen moon with talons full - a scarecrow shaken off her cross - A grandfather clock ticks endless quiet - I sit captive between gargoyles - unregulated wasp nests - burbling liquid - No one else will ever want to kill me like I do - I burn full on into the sea - a bloody-funnel-fringed nose - blood orange-red down the hollow of my throat - eyes pecked-out by birds - A giddy foot, levitating for a while..."

NEW Review of the Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, Cutting Eyes from Ghosts!

"Den Bleyker's ghosts, in this collection of poetry, are beings that cease to exist as individuals in the human sense of the term, but are still in process of transitioning to the realm of the immaterial. And that transition is rocky: ghosts have a tendency to revisit places in the world they once knew. In Den Bleyker's view, the most intimate place a ghost knew before it crossed over was the body it once inhabited. That body, like any human body, is subject to decay, disintegration, and destruction."

From a very interesting new review of the Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, "Cutting Eyes from Ghosts" by Ariana D. Den Bleyker.

The new March flock of Thirteen Myna Birds is here! - http://13myna.blogspot.com/ Poetry by Ariana D. Den Bleyker - Eileen Murphy - Jessica McKenna - John Burroughs - Robert Ford - Michael Grover.
"Pins impale thumbs - one of his hands attached - To one of his ankles by thread - flesh resting on disintegrating bones - We are in a transition period - The body reaching the point of rot - We live to consume until we are consumed - a lollipop wrapped in plastic - Her breasts, filigreed with silver stretch marks - Titular typecast orange tapioca - The cracked plate remains - car-crashes in the bathroom, unhelpful dreams - someday I'd figure out - That reality is just too sad"
