Cadaver Dogs by Loudon & Tilt

I got some nice deliveries in the mail the past couple days that will keep me busy reading for a bit.


















I was really looking forward to getting Rebecca Loudon's new book of poems Cadaver Dogs and it finally arrived. I also have one of her previous books Radish King, so I am really looking forward to spending some time with my eyes on Cadaver Dogs. When I read her poems, it does things to my brain, it's almost as if I can feel my hair growing (or something ...lol). Great work. It's a beautiful looking, well put together book Rebecca. You can get your copy here. She also has an entertaining blog titled Radish King. There are links to all her books there also.

I also got a delivery from the Small Press Tilt. A book of poems titled TILT, Literary Notes - A Chapbook Anthology. It includes work by:
Arlene Ang, Susan Culver, Jason Fraley, Rachel Mallino, Nathan McClain, Steve Mueske, Sarah Sloat, Cheryl Snell, Alex Stolis, John Sweet, and John Vick.


















I have read a little so far and enjoyed what was presented. It's a beautiful little chapbook. Here's a link if you are interested. Well worth the money!

Peace and love!
