​NEW! Short Poems of Violence and Chickens
by Juliet Cook and Darryl Shupe!
(Blood Pudding Press, October 2022)
The latest Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook is a strange collaboration
that fuses odd animal/human hybrids...

Juliet Cook and Darryl Shupe's poetic collaboration was unexpectedly inspired by Juliet having a hissy fit about Darryl's use of the word nasty to describe being drooled on by a sheep at a county fair, because she felt like nasty was an overused word. Instead of staying annoyed, she used his sentence to start a poem, which ended up resulting in 18 collaborative poems that fused nasty animal/human hybridization with other disturbing elements of existence. 

15 of those poems are included within this newly published collection.

Juliet is a stuck pig/circus peanut hybrid.

Darryl is a swearing carousel horse.

Both of them like goats, but Darryl does not like clucking chickens.

***

Buyers of this new collection may choose between the HOT chicken cover OR the DUNK YOUR DIPPER! cover OR let the shop choose for you.

The chapbooks are hand-bound with fun-filled ribbon or yarn and come with hand-designed oddball bookmarks.

Any questions, please feel free to ask.

And aside from that, you can acquire a copy in the Blood Pudding Press shop HERE - https://www.etsy.com/listing/1335251323/new-short-poems-of-violence-and-chickens​

"I cracked open the caged runway models who were not allowed
to wear anything other than dirty sheep wool.
Whose teeth and tongues had been removed to make room
for more nasty spittle. Now goats,

goats are a different kind of nasty,
bleating and coughing up gelatinous globs of goo.
Keep their pens clean or the models get the hose again."

some lines from the first poem in the collection, "Deep-fried Model Faces Sold Here"

Here's one poem from the collection:

lonely

i plagiarize myself
to escape to reduce
my mother’s wrath

i lie
she is queen
this is a dream

to subdue the abuse
the madness
the abyss she creates

to store me in i deny

shes my mother
a stranger i live under
a prisoner in a kingdom

of hell

she is not well

she is plagued
by a psychotic
god

who convinces her
i am a sore
& she must rid

the disease

& her attempts
to succeed
fail

it is only
herself
boiling at the core

lonely
& invisible to the knowledge
of a world

which is not real

PEDIOPHOBIA by Daniel G. Snethen (Blood Pudding Press, December 2019)

"Seventy times seven solstices later,
myriad discarded broken dolls
rose up from the city trash-piles,
the ash-heaps and the long
forgotten hallowed doll graves"
​
in the poem "The Second Coming"

***

As of December 2019, my Blood Pudding Press would like to introduce you to PEDIOPHOBIA by Daniel G. Snethen!

PEDIOPHOBIA's amalgamation of horrific dolls is quirky, dark, darkly comedic, oddly disturbing, and twisted. Screaming eyed dolls and broken doll bodies. Dolls as killers, dolls as evil, dolls as gods, dolls as horror movie scenes, dolls as bloody apples, dolls as distorted bible verse.

PEDIOPHOBIA offers you sixteen peculiar poems by Daniel G. Snethen!

PEDIOPHOBIA artwork was created especially for this collection by Josh Birrittieri - an outside front cover, an inside front cover, and an outside back cover!

PEDIOPHOBIA has been printed and designed by Blood Pudding Press creature Juliet Cook, bound with yarn AND scraggly doll hair, but don't blame me if the doll hair bites you!

Find out more and consider procuring a copy of PEDIOPHOBIA from the Blood Pudding Press shop HERE - https://www.etsy.com/listing/762123585/new-pediophobia-by-daniel-g-snethen-2019?ref=shop_home_feat_4
