Second edition of "Kali breathes this fire"

I have today released a second edition of Kali breathes this fire. Because I constantly write about the Mahavidyas & other forms of Dark Mother I have needed to add a little to the introduction. I do not deny that I caught a couple of typos too. I shall certainly produce further revisions, but this is the current one. The main difference is that I have added much more about the incommensurability of intensity & the shortcomings of language, as well as a few pages with extensive references about spiritual narcissism. There's also some discussion of my use of the term "patriarchy", elucidated by reference to Juliet Flower MacCannell, & I can totally recommend her Regime of the Brother.

My book is available here at Lulu, & it will not currently be available on Amazon. Amazon, apparently, do not approve of capitalisation of the pronouns that apply to goddess. The Christians, of course, capitalise the pronouns of their fictional patriarchal divinity, This is a case of Amazon, corporate whores that they are, displaying ethnocentric &, quite frankly, racist attitudes. The first edition, with exactly the same capitalisation, IS however still on sale at Amazon, though I have withdrawn it now, so the second enlarged & corrected edition will only be available at the link above.

The book about Lilītu & Lamaštû & the book about Tara are both being written right now & I trust that they will be pleasing to Maa Kali.

"Laying Flowers on the Boundary" by Carolyn Srygley Moore

Delighted to announce a new book of poems by Carolyn Srygley Moore at Posthuman Poetry & Prose. It is now on sale at this link & the proof has been approved so it will appear on Amazon soon.  Laying Flowers on the Boundary costs $10, €10, or £8.

EDIT: After much buggering about, it is now here on bloody Amazon.  Here it is at USA Amazon too.

As I say in the blurb, this is definitely some of her best work, & Carolyn & I did a good job preparing it, I think. The poems adumbrate a fundamentally aesthetic stance that is innately moral, since moral development is largely based upon aesthetic considerations, & a poem can itself perform a small scale transvaluation. Discriminations are empty & serve to strengthen the insistent falsification that is Maya, & inspiration is arbitrary, so the sense of an aleatory & random imaginary is a great strength of this book. Generally goddess does not care for American writers, because of their tendency to narcissism, but She thinks it's alright for me to publish this & Carolyn's previous here, For All of My Beautiful Ghosts.

The cover, featuring Carolyn's photography & designed by me, is below. I endorse this book.
