CMP Featured Writers, June 2023

Invasion of the June beetles!! Opened the door last night and they were all over the place, clinging to the screen; crawling on the porch rail; flying around the light. Crazy how they show up right on time seemingly out of nowhere every year. I’ve seen a few here and there over the past week or so, but last night, they were having a party on the porch! Nature is a trip.

Below you’ll find the June featured writers. I’m always open for submissions! If you’d like to send some work, email 1-3 poems to cajunmuttpress@gmail.com with a bio and author photo.

Cajun Mutt Press has released five books so far in 2023! Shooting Myself in the Dark by Carrie Magness Radna, After the Fall by William Teets, Holding the Door for Barbarians by Mark Berriman, Tales From The Rotten Land by Efe Tusder, and our latest release was destructive paradox slips on banana peel by Joshua Martin. You can find them and a list of all other CMP titles by following this link:

Keep your eyes peeled for Written Under Duress by John Tustin on June 13th!! I reworked the cover, so I’ll have a new cover reveal for y’all over the weekend and more details about the book as well.

Stay tuned for updates, and keep kicking ass out there! My biggest joy is helping people get their words out to the world. Cajun Mutt Press wouldn’t exist without writers & readers.

Love Y’all, Write On,

!!Now Available from Cajun Mutt Press!!

Tales From The Rotten Land is a mind-bending mixture of artwork and flash fiction by the talented Efe Tuşder. Stories about demons, sex, gore, interdimensional beings, existential crises, and other normal daily nuances; all laced with a touch of gallows humor and Efe’s beautifully macabre images. Also featuring cover art by JDCIV.

“Efe Tusder’s TALES FROM THE ROTTEN LAND is a more concentrated look at Narc Planet…the world we already live on…what if everything was reversed? Instead of artificial beauty hiding truth, horrid yet genuine truth spilled over the glitzy veil…from spitting on your breakfast plate to being the man who tried to split his skull. You’ll be splatter house appalled into enlightenment.”
—Mike Zone, EIC of Dumpster Fire Press

Holding the Door for Barbarians by Mark Berriman is now available from Caun Mutt Press!!

If you grab a copy, please leave a review!

“This addictive little book is aptly titled. Mark Berriman’s words open portals into realms where ghostly barbarian voices sing in an indomitable language of the heart. This is poetic expression at its finest. Courageous. Authentic. Vulnerable. Raw. And more fun than a crackhead wedding. Respek!”
—Jonathan Shaw (Author of Narcisa – Our Lady of Ashes, and Scab Vendor – Confessions of a Tattoo Artist)

“This is the most interesting poetry I have read in a long time and I RECOMMEND THAT YOU GO OUT AND BUY IT! From a drunken, drug taking lyric writer.”
—Shane MacGowan, Singer/Songwriter/Frontman of The Pogues

“Mark Berriman’s Holding the Door for Barbarians is a daring dance with the dickens that will both disturb and delight.”
—John Burroughs, US Beat Poet Laureate
