Casey Renee Kiser

Vividly playful, lyrical and savage, this collection is a hell-raising romp through the dreamscape-daze and knightless badlands of sleepwalking hearts bleeding out, and rag dolls rubbed raw. No apologies, no rules, no nightlights and absolutely no rest for the crybabys, Let NightMARE tuck you in for a lucid-dark lullaby. You'll wake up rocking if you can relate to the hell-and-back heroine. Nobody puts this cunt in the corner, or shoves her in the backseat. Not too bright... Dull Mr. Nobodie just may wake up riding in the trunk. Kiser's irresistible quip and lyrical dark humor reigns in this brand new punk poetry collection w/ savory horror undertones. "Ruthless, borderline everything, including campy, yet blissfully dark and weird as waking life." -RaVenGh o st Press Poems: Gravedigger's Delight Glitchy-Wiggly (king of worms) Sleepin' Thru It Queen Hard-on / Fright Night Machete Origami Confessional Cunt Lil' Toe Dipper Bitch, I'm Aware You Can't Swim Asylum P3ARL / Gh o st Grrrl Bug Zapper Pinky Bipolar Blues Last Call (bloodbath) The Zombies are Loose Mr. & Mrs. Nobodie Burning-buzz (way too cool) Carrie White is My Cosmic Call Grrrl Final Girl-fuckery Fetish Beholden (Joke is...)

Confessional, punk and quite Wonderland-ish, a romp through The Crystal Garden and you won’t be the same...this snail is part dragon and breathes fire. A strange and original collection that dares to detail the fine line of what can be considered mental illness in our society, when we dig deeper. 'Snail Vixen' explores the disturbing swirl of innocence and trauma when there is covert emotional abuse as a child, as well as the side effects that carry over into adulthood: paranoia, isolation and suicidal tendencies. A reading trip you can't compare to anything else. --RaVenGh o st Press Digital copy avail on Etsy. Official: Simple, yet mysterious and playful, Casey takes you on a slow ride.

Poems by snail viXen (CRK) exploring emotional and psychological abuse within adult relationships due to growing up in the funhouse of covert narcissism. Look out, this collection is a straight shooter about choosing self-love over those with npd and taking back your power for good. If you didn't grow up with this undercover shade in your family, maybe you woke up from a dream to find clown shoes by your bed, wondering how you got to be in the middle of a circus act. As the facade gets harder to keep up, the cracks start to show and suddenly, the ringleader is spotlighted. Well, elephants never forget and neither does karma. These two-faced gossip factories care about one thing: how they are perceived. Anyone who challenges their fake persona will be branded a threat to their fantastical narrative and targeted for life. Boring endless drama. Yawn... Still, personal accountability plays a part in breaking this horrific cycle as we struggle to heal within ourselves the deep-rooted trauma that doesn't go away until we face it. What are we accepting? It's detrimental that we understand how we can change our lives by changing how we feel about ourselves. With a change in perspective of who is actually in control, we can escape the pattern, a.k.a. island. We can then learn to let go of the confusion that was intentionally caused simply because misery loves company. Enough is enough. And we won't give our power over to cowards. Then, self-love becomes the journey of the empath. We learn to set boundaries and eventually see right through their projections of shame, guilt trips, mind games, constant gas-lighting, back-stabbing gossip, hidden competitiveness, mental-health-destroying triangulation and silent treatments. To break free for good, we must understand that peace starts within and works its way out. What we are allowing in our lives are simply projections of what we think we deserve. We are born to escape. But it's a choice. ©Holy&intoxicated Publications, UK 2021 Digital available: Etsy dot com Cover by J.T. Givens.

Casey's dark and quirky style shines in this collection of selected poems 2005-2014.

'Doll Shaker' is an exploration of one's identity crisis from the lingering effects of emotional abuse as a child and how it ties in later with sex and relationships. Descend into a strange little world of isolation, imagination and confession, where souls have been sent into the void due to intense emotional abuse. Casey’s tenth collection of poetry is, as usual, disturbing and perversely offbeat. 'Doll Shaker' is sure to capture you with its uncomfortable humor and an uncompromising perception of truth as a darkly poetic and vivid horror show. Open the door, it's just us dolls here...
