The Slurp/Slobber/Stunt Cock trilogy v2

Misti Rainwater & I have redone the first three books we collaborated on. STUNT COCK has new b/w illustrations that are more consistent & appropriate to the poems. STUNT COCK now has 144 pp so it's a big fat cock. The cover is modified but basically the same.

Buy these books. Trigger warnings are probably called for but, as noted, I have a big fat cock.

SLURP is barely changed, while SLOBBER has a whole new cover. 

STUNT COCK is here, it is the most centered around kink, DD/LG, & hardcore boning, Dickdown literature, one might say. Stella Rainwater figures extensively in the photos, often in Paris. I mention Babalon a lot & Misti counters with the old testament, which is some bullshit, let me tell you.

SLURP is here, it is more influenced by Stein & is more avant garde in its origins, though this swiftly deteriorates through exposure to dickdowns.

SLOBBER is here. This one starts to feature more epigraphs from scumbags like Artaud. There are still plenty of dickdowns & I make many references to the Mayan religion as presented to me by goddess. 

This plethora of epigraphs from various figures like Bataille & Artaud is more noticeable, however, in RETARD PENIS, where we also ridicule the penis of a dead lit bro poet manqué & various "exes", including dead ones. A corrected and edited version of that is due shortly so I link it here already. More to come but we haven't decided yet. I'm working on my religious books that are coming soon enough & Misti is making music with the new guitar & working on her art & tarot readings. 

The two altered covers follow.

Henrietta remembers

I have just produced a better third edition of my only currently available novel, Henrietta remembers. I am doing this because Misti really likes it & did a cover for a new edition. There are minor alterations to the text & a considerable improvement in the formatting. 

The book is at present only on Lulu at this link, but will be coming to Amazon soon. Anything by this name on Amazon now will be whatever copies they have left of the second edition. Blurb & cover follow.

I'll preface this with full disclosure. I receive David's cock on a regular basis, he makes better tacos than any Mexican and we are getting married in Capricorn season 2027. I had a weird reaction to Henrietta Remembers. I started sobbing and then I pretended like I was going to punch David in his stomach. I cursed at him in an aggressive Incredible Hulk type voice. I'm angry that he's a better writer than I am! He's from Wales! I'm from Texas! He attended Oxford! I attended The University of Texas at San Antonio! Bastard.

RETARD PENIS

Misti Rainwater & I have produced the enchanting masterpiece RETARD PENIS. This is a book of great wisdom & profundity, also squirting, & it will fix all your major malfunctions. 

It explains why Crowley dissed on Leo, & it is accordingly published in retard season & is rather short, being only 103 numbered pages. In this book, we also explain why Courtney Love had no choice. Pisces must be stopped. 

God directed Misti's pen & goddess, who is real, directed mine. The book is mostly about iguanas, as I remember.

It is at this link & you'd have to be a massive cunt not to buy it.

SLURP

Today we publish the only version of SLURP. The book is 105 numbered pages long & took us ten days, because Misti is a very good & industrious girl. Before we leave this country for a tropical paradise we shall probably release her exceptional novel ZERO BUENO & possibly the third part in our new but never-ending saga. Due to its content, don't read this book if you're ever offended by anything.

This book was intended to be minimalist & influenced by Gertrude Stein. However, in the course of writing it I became swiftly sidetracked by red goddess Babalon gesticulating at me straight out of Misti's cunt & Misti started using King James version verses as titles. I do not know if these two developments are related. Anyway, it is what it is.

Misti says of this book: "Jesus wept."

It is available for sale at this link. It is due to appear on Amazon, & the cover art is shown below.

"Lamaštû: Poems for the Anti-Mother" at Amazon.

Lamaštû: Poems for the Anti-Mother is now on sale at UK Amazon at this link. It is also available from US Amazon. See the post below for further details.

This is the latest book in McLean's series about aspects of goddess, & Lamaštû is, together with Maa Kali & Tiamat, one of the three aspects that he regards as most primal. The next will probably be about Tiamat. As always there is a lengthy prose introduction before the poems.

The depiction of Lamaštû in popular fiction & films for the great unwashed is as offensive as the scurrilous lies told about Lilītu by the devotees of the patriarchal "gods".

But Lamaštû is a primal Mesopotamian goddess who was seen as being tasked with curbing human hubris. McLean sees Her as the form of Dark Mother most suited to the modern age, when population needs to be controlled & humanism & human narcissism need to be stamped out.

Lamaštû: Poems for the Anti-Mother

Here is Lamaštû: Poems for the Anti-Mother, my new book in the series about various aspects of goddess, Dark Mother, Kali Maa, &  this volume is about Lamaštû. It is available direct from Lulu at this link, & will be available from Amazon & other corporate whores soon enough. Blurb & cover follow, as is my wont.

Edit: I have received & approved the proof for this today the 29th of January. It will be available from Amazon etc soon enough. It looks good.

New on Amazon

A quick post about three recent books now being available from Amazon & elsewhere.

The new book about Tara is now on Amazon, here at this link for Amazon UK, or at this one for US Amazon. This one is only £9.

A new, longer, & revised version of the Kali book is apparently on Amazon UK at this link & it is here at US Amazon.

The main reason the new version is longer is because I refer to & discuss studies by psychologists. I have always maintained that gurus, & spiritual people in general, are a bunch of fucking narcissists, so it occurred to me to check the research. It appears that I hit the nail on the head. If I erred it was on the side of generosity, since the research is touchingly unanimous.

The Lilītu & Lamaštû book, however, had some fucking issues with the fucking metadata, but is obviously still at Lulu. It's available at this link. It is at last available on on Amazon UK here & on Amazon USA at this link 

The new Lamaštû book is being written, but I am deliberately taking my time over this one since it will be my main work about antinatalism & population control, & since Lamaštû is so significant to me.

Tara is the fire

Coming to Amazon soon enough, & now accepted for global distribution, but at present at this link, here is my book Tara is the fire. Blurb & cover, then six samples, follow. Choosing some fairly arbitrary samples, not the best ones, I must say that this seems to be to be the best I ever wrote. There's quite a lot in this book about non-discrimination, intensity, incommensurability, human narcissism, & the fundamental nature of creation & cosmos, drawing on Karen Barad, among others. A lot of this was revealed to me by Lamaštû, somewhat to my surprise. Lamaštû is the subject of my next book, which, perhaps unsurprisingly, will be pretty much another antinatalist manifesto.  

EDIT. This is on Amazon UK at this link, & Amazon USA at this.

This book is about Tara, the second Mahavidya.  It continues McLean's series about goddess.

Tara embodies the explosive energy of cosmos that is constantly  consumed & constantly renewed.

She teaches us how dualisms are empty, how ritual is unnecessary, & how  alignment with goddess offers us liberation.

poems for Lilītu & Lamaštû

Today I make available divine fury: poems for Lilītu & Lamaštû from Posthuman Poetry & Prose. I am also about to release Tara is the fire, but I shall give that a separate post. Here is the first of these books on sale direct, probably coming at Amazon soon. After the Tara book, I am writing one solely about Lamaštû - partly from gratitude to Her for favours received, partly because Her role in preventing conception makes Her very well adapted to my antinatalist predilections.

In the Lilītu & Lamaštû book, with which I am rather pleased, I do deal with my usual themes: humanist narcissism, how Dark Mother has become dea abscondita, the bogus patriarchal religions with their daddy kinks, the narcissistic fear of chaos, the "bipolar" contrast between spicy forms of goddess & the more vanilla aspects of divinity, masculinism & sexism within religion & the occult, &, of course, last but not least, the incommensurability of intensity & the shortcomings of language.

I am hugely grateful to Nausicaa Morgue for the cover images & for discussion of both these aspects of Dark Mother.

Blurb & cover follow, &, since I have neglected to post samples recently, four sample poems:

This book extends McLean's series about goddess to include Lilītu & Lamaštû, & removes Lilītu completely from the fictional image of Her as a creature of the patriarchal god. She is a black moon Kali & a central aspect of Dark Mother.

Seeing Lilītu as a demon is not seeing Her in Her full bipolar divinity as goddess, with Her benevolent & "malevolent" aspects incorporated.

If we cannot accept the spicy aspects of goddess, then we do not deserve Her incalculable bounty.

"Lalita drinks too much" on Amazon

 Lalita drinks too much hits Amazon (soon) at this link or at this one for US Amazon.

Here it is at Lulu.

Samples posted in this post.

Cover & blurb below.

This book continues McLean's series about Kali Maa & the Mahavidyas & is about Lalita or Shodashi, the third Mahavidya.

The poems are preceded by a lengthy & controversial introduction, where McLean discusses goddess; the selective Nietzschean eternal return as a template for reincarnation; Kali & temporality; the imaginary ego; spirituality & narcissism; the narcissistic nature of the guru phenomenon; intensity & incommensurability; the patriarchy & fratriarchy; & the colonialism to which the tribal peoples in India are subjected.

The cover image is the Sri Yantra.

"Lalita drinks too much"

The latest in the Mahavidya books is now available, a little more controversial than usual. The Divine Mother wants this one out now, & I am starting a new one about Tara. The order in which these books are appearing is fairly arbitrary. In this book, I discuss Deleuze, Lacan, Nietzsche, colonialism, & spiritual narcissism, & I swear as little as possible while so doing.

The book is on sale here at this link, it is coming on Amazon soon, & the cover & blurb follow.

Tanya Rakh, "too short a far shot"

It is with immense delight that I can announce that a new book by Tanya Rakh is going to be available as soon as one of us has seen the proof. It is with great happiness that I announce this & naturally I have done an introductory manifesto. 

This follows, as does the cover. The picture is Tanya's "spiral tree." It is now on sale here, coming to Amazon soon.

EDIT: Here is is at this link on Amazon. Here it is at this very similar link on UK Amazon too. It would be wonderful if you bought from Lulu instead, of course, because Tanya would then get much more money.

Introduction

This book is written as a purge of old ghosts, or Tanya said it was at least. It is her fourth book with Posthuman Poetry & Prose. It speaks of alienation & distances, the incommunicability of intensity. I too know how it feels when organs do not fit in this stupid human skin, & I certainly don't understand capitalism. Tanya, too, has a fish family to look after, we all have something that obliges us to engage with gross & grotesque world.

Anyway, what is purged is things that do not appertain to the now, things that are inessential & already transcended; the machinations of Maya, that what is not, what Mahadevi has done to pass Her time & entertain Herself, because eternal perfection is dull when One is wanton & grows desirous, as She says Herself that She does. Intensity cannot be expressed in any human tongue, but Kali as Matangi can show it to those She favours, so we can step sideways into the light with Her for a while. This book does this, & sings the perfection of the dirty, the impure, the “immaculate dirt”, for everything is essentially divine. The book ends with the chain of return seen as always already perfect, every fall, everything part of Mother with the “huge black eyes”.

For everything is what it is, & this book shows how to approach the essentially incomprehensible nature of what is, the cruel confusion that seemingly is, & these poems delineate a stance to take to the world that allows us to see earth behind it, sustaining & upholding it. Tanya shows that the only way to do this is to relinquish the illusions of humanism & affirm the beast.

Because goddess is always desirous, She always wants things to happen, so there is not going to be any quiescent end state, incarnation is forever, these fleshy transactions, &, like Mr. Fish himself, we shall always carry some false body around, though we are fire & formless, & we belong in Her perfection.

As Tanya points out, the animal sleeps like Maa Kali lives, naked & dressed in space, too large to ever be contained.

Naturally, I advocate the purchase, reading, & regular rereading of this book. I do not interpret it, for it is a manifestation, an expression of the emptiness & the ever-present ghosts, the hungry ghosts, the ghouls at the heart of illusion. It is a very beautiful book & I am sure that Kali is delighted, for it is fire & power, as is She.

"Kali breathes this fire"

Finally got my new book finished after much buggering about, since I need to be comfortable with it, it being about the Divine Mother as it is. But Maa Kali cherishes imperfection & impurity, so that's something of a consolation. I am releasing it now because I have been constantly & obsessively adding to it, & want to hurry up with writing the next book about Matangi instead.

It is on sale here at Lulu, & here it now is on Amazon at this link. It is listed on  Amazon UK as well. The book is more expensive than I might wish, £12.50 or $16.50, with other currencies at corresponding rates, but blame the twats at Amazon for that, given that the book is 232 pages in length.

Four poems are on the images below, one of which is on two pages. 

The book contains a 45 page introduction about Kali. The introduction does not pretend to be comprehensive but relates the scriptures about Her to posthumanism, & the selective & creative nature of reincarnation, & speaks of the ultimate eternal return after the dissolution, when Her restive & fickle nature will create again. Some of this is drawn from the Posthuman poetry manifesto & adds to that. (Here the manifesto is on Amazon too.) Anyway, as Ramakrishna Paramahamsa wrote, She only saves one in a hundred thousand. 

The introduction also includes much ranting about narcissism, neo-colonialism against indigenous peoples, the patriarchy, the caste system, the narcissism of many "gurus", & the disgraceful British empire.

Blurb, cover, & samples follow:

This book is the first about Kali Maa & the Mahavidyas that McLean has written. This is what he proposes to write about in the future. 

The book includes a 45 page introduction in which McLean relates the Divine Mother to posthuman themes. There will no full manifesto on the basis of this but the ideas will be developed in later books.

The cover image is Kali's yantra

"Alien Songs" by Tanya Rakh & Ndotono Waweru

Delighted to announce the arrival of a book of duets by Tanya Rakh & Ndotono Waweru from Posthuman Poetry & Prose. The poems in Alien Songs, on sale here, & on sale here at Amazon, are of the posthuman diaspora that learns to survive beyond identity. Only the divergent returns. Only what is "alien", in the sense of estranged from humanist traditions, only what is Dionysian individuation - not the I, the self, & their identity - will be validated by the posthuman naissance that celebrates the chaos of the eternal return, where the subject is the Other, & alienated, in principle, from its "self" by the Kantian "Cogito for a dissolved Self: the Self of 'I think' includ[ing] in its essence a receptivity of intuition in relation to which I is already an other." (Deleuze). The chaosmos goddess creates is anarchic; identities are weak, they do not return. 

& poetry just is a nostalgia for presence, for simple self-identity, for all the substantial constructs, or so Derrida tells us. But poetry needs to be the inarticulate cry of intensity, the indeterminate, that which is not concealed behind a name or a face  but dances its passion in the flame & naked. Poetry needs to capture this, per impossibile - it might scream to that which throbs an instant in the meat & cannot be measured against anything. Otherwise things play real when you look at them & words grow into unreliable maps & forget what stars there are.

Though I publish others on an occasional basis, Tanya is basically the other half of posthuman poetry, & when I return to goddess it is my hope that she will take it over. It is a privilege to publish all of her previous & forthcoming work, & a delight to see how seamless this collaboration with Ndotono is.

Tanya & Ndotono wrote this intro

Alien Songs is a fully collaborative collection of duets in verse. These duets each stand alone as individual pieces, but also join together to create an amalgamated star atlas for a breathing and multitextured extraterrestrial world.

Each of our songs embodies an aspect of this world—some echo an element, others an organ, yet others a phenomena of nature—and there are many more totems to explore. All of these pieces, separately and combined, are calls to a connection beyond the confines of everyday space and time, the heavy matter of humanity.

While the maladjusted soul may not be able to easily drag its accompanying body off this planet for a spell, it can dissolve for a while between astral wind currents when the right words are sung. These duets are incantations, oracles, scribblings on the walls of the heart. By reading them, we hope all lonely Aliens can catch a few glimmers of their home stars.

Tanya Rakh and Ndotono Waweru

The book is absolutely amazing, & the cover is below, with thanks to the brilliant photographer Shaina Sterrett for letting us use her image. Here is Shaina's Instagram where she shares her art.

Here is a sample poem online at Spillwords at this link. Alien Songs is on sale at this link. it can also be found on Amazon at this link. Note that it is better for the writers if you buy direct from Lulu.

I am looking forward to the publication of Tanya Rakh's ghost fractals soon, goddess willing. There will also be a book of visual poetry, vispo, coming from Tanya too, this will be printed with quality paper & ink, everything you do to the moon. It will be awesome.

A new posthuman poetry manifesto

The manifesto about posthumanism that was posted previously in this blog now serves as the the introduction to my recent book of poems, everything essential. It builds upon the two previous manifestos about antinatalism & posthumanism that were included in the earlier books too much human & goddess says, Emma.

But I have now released a book of prose that isn't a novel. It's a book of theory about posthumanism, focused on deep ecology, goddess, & poetics, There is a fair amount about the varieties of posthumanism, about feminist new materialism, about Heidegger & Derrida's discussion of poetics, about deep ecology, earth & world, becomings-animal, & a discussion of Deleuze & temporality. Also, naturally, there is much about goddess & Tiamat, prior to the patriarchal deities of Babylon & later. All this in detail in the long version that is now on sale, the full version of the introductory manifesto in everything essential.

In this book I try to deal with fairly difficult subjects in a manner that is reasonably comprehensible to the average reader. I don't know if I succeed, but the ambition is to make somewhat abstruse subjects fairly accessible, & avoid too much empty & trendy verbiage.

First, though, here is the poetry book with the shortened introductory form of the manifesto - everything essential at Lulu. Then here is the Amazon UK link, & here is the link to Amazon USA.

Now this is the Lulu link for the full version, A new posthuman poetry manifesto, the proof looking great. Here is the manifesto on Amazon UK, & it is on US Amazon at this link. The covers for both books are directly below too. The table of contents for the full manifesto follows.

Six samples from forthcoming "everything essential"

Here are six samples from my forthcoming everything essential, due whenever we see & approve the proof copy. The cover comes first. The manifesto that introduces the book was previously posted below in this blog at this link. Here it is on Amazon UK. Here on Amazon USA. Now it is lengthened & made more complete, & has grown into a book of its own, A posthuman poetry manifesto which I will post a couple of weeks after this one is out. The book is reviewed above by Carolyn Srygley-Moore in this post.

EDIT: Out now.

I update this post to note that I have approved the proof & allowed the 205 page book via Posthuman Poetry & Prose's storefront, where it is on sale at this link, & made it available on Amazon, Ingram, B&N, etc, where it will appear in due course.

The book is the third book of poems since my return to the UK, & themes & inspirations include nature in North Somerset; goddess Tiamat; posthumanism & postmodernism; Deleuze & Guattari's becoming animal & rhizomes; Foucault's antihumanism & antifascism; Derrida's ethics, poetics, & ethopoetics; Nietzsche in general, especially the return as the return of the dissolved self; Lyotard's intensity; new materialism; indeterminacy; goddess chaos versus patriarchal order; the Enuma Elish; & love, sexuality, & BDSM.

The book is 205 numbered pages, with a 45 page introductory manifesto that took a lot of work. I have edited this & given more attention to it than usual. It's a sort of statement. The manifesto is about posthumanism, goddess Tiamat, chaos, & posthuman poetics, & I try to enact it in the poems - the dissolution of the ego in Deleuze's reading of the Nietzschean eternal return, the intensity, the beast, the ahuman that I am become. It is very clearly a book of poems for Emma, but it is not part of the series; she is muse & motivator, but there is more to these poems, for the sexual intenisty that was always there has now pervaded everything - from goddess to brutality, from butterflies to philosophy.

I have also, as noted, finished a prose book with a more extensive version of the manifesto that I shall publish separately. The manifesto in the new prose version is close to 100 numbered pages & is due to become available once I approve the proof in a while.A new book to be called (probably) we are flesh of Tiamat is being written.
