Updates and Tidbits

3/5/2022

Dear Authors,

We understand your frustration at our silence. We have been taking care of our own selves first--something which we do not ask apology for, but your empathy seeing that we were all in the same situation. We were inactive due to extenuating circumstances, so no emails were checked or replied to, no author copies sent, and no payments made. So don't feel too left out! 
We would like to thank you for your patience during these trying times the last two years. COVID his us hard and put everything on hold as we rearranged our lives and finances--there has only been a trickle with all the funding raising sources canceled for two years, so it's been our day jobs.
We are sorry that it has taken us so long to get back to you, get contracts fulfilled, but 2022 is the year we will be moving on our obligations now that things are stable again. It is our full intent and requirement to do so-to honor you-and the beautiful works you published with us.

All our best,
Forty-Two Books

Putrescent Poems Excerpt

10/5/2019

0 Comments

 
 
“dismantle me
take me apart
 the way I know you want to
hold me down and
gut me like a fish...”
​
Autopsy—Detroit Kallunki
 
“His churning seed was, well, quite tasty
But, this apparition was not yet through
To my horror and to my abject shock
For between my thighs, he mightily pried
And began to assault me buttocks”

Habel—John Smith
 
“I drive my fist inside her cunt,
feeling for the fetal runt.
 
I grasp it by the tiny waist,
and tear it out to have a taste.”

Sedated Pregnancy-Warren Denbrock Porter
