PEEP/SHOW  is "....A Taxonomic Exercise in Textual and Visual Seriality....".

I am excited, delighted, and pleased as punch to announce that my new work now appears inside the PEEP/SHOW.

Here I am -

NEW! LETTERS FROM ROOM 27 OF THE GRAND MIDWAY HOTEL

Picture





















Brimming with weird, creepy, messy ghostly infiltrations galore, Letters From Room 27 of the Grand Midway Hotel is the NEW Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, featuring 14 oddly haunted poems by Margaret
Bashaar, inspired by an artsy haunted hotel!

Each chapbook will brim with it's own lovely cover, its darkly delicious poetic innards, plus a few artsy photo snippets taken from within the haunted hotel by photographer Kevin Ross.

Take a look and consider purchasing a copy of  this haunted treasure for yourself via the Blood Pudding Press etsy shop here, pretty please, if you dare:

NEW!  Thirteen Designer Vaginas

Picture
Juliet Cook's Thirteen Designer Vaginas is the very first chapbook published by the wonderous new Hyacinth Girl Press, " a micro press dedicated to feminist avant garde poetry".

Delicious vaginal cover art created by Hyacinth Girl Press poet/editor Margaret Bashaar - and inside that cover  is thirteen poems by Juliet Cook.

These are strangely scrumdilicious pussy poems! Snip snip pivot! Vaginatical! Va Va Voom!

If you think there's too  much vagina in the Cook family, you can suck it you leech.

It was the  browsing of vaginal rejuvenation sites that inspired Cook to start writing her designer vagina poems. She got grossed out by the photos and medical notations  and wondered what the heck she was looking for and then realized that she was  conducting "poetry research"!

The chapbook can be purchased direct  from the publisher via the Hyacinth Girl Press etsy shop or website, but Cook  has a handful of copies of her own to offer you here, for the same price and  signed with her name:
