Burning House Press

I have a new poem at @thearsonista.bsky.social Guest ed: Ingrid M. Calderón. Love the collage banner.

Hand over hand, climbing over
indelicate industrial clamor, unrolling
typewriter ribbons to erase propaganda broadsheets / smear
the news and various
other kinds of puppeteer topographies /

Excerpt from The Book of Khalid by Ameen Rihani … the Soul of a philosopher, poet and criminal. I am all three, I swear…

Today's ULTRAVIOLET offering at @thearsonista.bsky.social is another historical deep cut, this time by Ameen Rihani. "Is it not strange that this son of Superstition and Trade can not find solace in the fact that in this Pix of Business is the Host of the Demiurgic Dollar?"

Thank you to @kawaishen.bsky.social and @thearsonista.bsky.social for publishing my horror short fiction about a monstrous transformation! Enjoy 😱

Excerpt from Christ by Sadakichi Hartmann Thought and feeling are forgotten, only the body lives!

This mid-week ULTRAVIOLET offering for @thearsonista.bsky.social is a deep cut excerpted from Sadakichi Hartmann's decadent, fin de siècle play, Christ, in which the life of the Only Begotten is blessed by... nudity and orgies ✝️✝️✝️

Black and white photo of Madison Rexx's triangular back tattoo, the word ABRACADABRA in serif font repeated with one letter removed until there is only an "A" remaining. Above this, two thick leather collars stacked, the buckle of one lined up on top of the other.

Photo by Shawn McPherson of Madison Rexx, a young woman regarding the viewer with a challenging gaze. Behind her, a purple backdrop and a plastic yellow moon.

Hint: will be publishing again with @thearsonista.bsky.social later tonight, a late night post for more mature audiences 🌙 but for now, some teasers...
