National Poetry Writing Month 2013

[NOTE: The entries containing poems originally appearing on the calendar below were lost during a blog software update... I may be able to recover them at a later time.] I've signed up over at NaPoWriMo.net, committing to try to write and post a new poem every day throughout April for "National Poetry Writing Month". My plan is to mix things up regularly: to post twitter poems, full-length gorelets, some audio recordings, videos, word art, and more Fridge of the Damned magnet poetry pieces.

Goldfisher

The Fridge of the Damned Gallery

The Fridge of the Damned is currently landing in backer mailboxes everywhere, and people are having a blast with the weird horror poetry magnets, and sharing their photos online. If you're one of them, I invite you to email me a shot or post a link to one to contribute a photo to the Fridge of the Damned gallery on Flickr. People are also sharing shots on twitter with hashtag #TFOTD. I love what I've seen so far! The Fridge of the Damned is now offered for sale for $12 each by Raw Dog Screaming Press, while supplies last.

Announcing Mastication Publications

I'm pleased to formally announce the resurrection of my old indie press imprint, Mastication Publications! While we've existed since 1991, and printed a number of chapbooks and ephemera over the past twenty years, this really marks a new phase in the press' development, as we will be more aggressively entering the ebook market and developing new projects. Our tagline is "Unusual Ideas to Chew On". Here's a snippet from the mission statement on our "About Us" page which elaborates: We see this press as more of a creative laboratory than some vain enterprise in self-publishing. It is a venue for…

Found Bones and other Word Art/Poems

Inspired by the terrifc response we're getting to the Fridge of the Damned magnetic word tile campaign, I'll be posting poems (made with real or virtual poetry magnets) and related "word art" to the project's Flickr set. Drop by and check them out from time to time. This set can also include your own poems written with The Fridge of the Damned in the mind, if you care to share. Just email photos to me and I'll post them. Remember: the kickstarter campaign ends February 1st, 2013. Act swiftly if you want to be a part of the action!
