NEW from Juliet! - the chapbook interview: Juliet Cook on the chapbook as ephemera, accolades, and, the flock and fold of popularity

A new poetry reading/writing/chapbook publishing related interview with Juliet Cook, conducted by Laura Madeline Wiseman and published  on May 2, 2013:

NEW from Juliet! - Juliet Cook’s POISONOUS BEAUTYKSKULL LOLLIPOP is now available!

It is her new 2013 poetry chapbook, published by Grey Book Press – and now available from Grey Book Press (and from her own Blood Pudding Press shop).

Support the press that published it by purchasing a copy here –

http://www.greybookpress.com/index.php/site/ind/poisonous_candy/

This chapbook was edited/published by poet and Grey Book Press editor Scott Sweeney – its weirdly awesome cover art was created by poet and artist Jay Snodgrass – and the innards by Juliet Cook are more than 20 different poems that vary from being written five years ago to mere months ago.


“…All mangy and probably diseased.
All frothing at the mouths at the taste of her rag-
a-muffin rumpus room.  Punch her in the mouth;
say you get carried away because her spit out beads,
the rank smell of her pelt.  Say something unnatural
pushed you. What oozed out was the filling in a cheap
dessert product ruined with broken teeth…”

from Say She Had Dirty Follicles

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

Picture

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 sake and art sake.

“Tattered rags stretched over bones
Rising like yeast, stretching till implosion
Rising, grotesque
I am a virus’


(from Unanswered Question by Lora Bloom)
