Poking through the Fabric of the Light that Formed Us by Lora Bloom - 2013 Blood Pudding Press contest winning poetry chapbook

Poking through the Fabric of the Light that Formed Us:
Songs and Stories to Read in the Mirror by Lora Bloom

***

“I am a broken glass sculpture
Shattered on the verge of a twisted lightbulb
Popping and sputtering filaments
Molded with cements
Infected stitches and shining shards
Randomly catch the sun”

(from Unanswered Question by Lora Bloom)

Blood Pudding Press is delighted to announce its second contest winning poetry chapbook of 2013, “Poking through the Fabric of the Light that Formed Us: Songs and Stories to Read in the Mirror”, with cover art including a uniquely gorgeous painting, “SummerLoveTangle” by Blueberrycrush (blueberrycrush.yolasite.com) and innards filled with fifteen poems by Lora Bloom.

Each chapbook is hand-bound with slightly furry looking binding threads and when you open the collection, Bloom's poetry is brimming with mind and body and blood based performance art spewed out and arranged into powerful words, sometimes dreamy sweet, sometimes dreamy scary, sometimes a one-of-kind fusion mix ensemble.

You know you want to peek and poke and prod into this unique realm of peculiar arrangements, such as “my other half of the best friend necklace / cracked somehow wrong” (from Bloom’s “Mused”). You know you want to take a closer look “behind my plastic smile / the frozen, blistered grimace” (from Bloom’s “Clown Girl”).
