Poetry, chapbook, 24 pages, from Bottlecap Features. The Gospel of Flesh and Loam is a mythic and erotic liturgy that blends sacred iconography with intimate ritual. These poems trace the voice of a speaker moving through exile, othering, invocation, and transformation. Lilith walks again in this collection—not as a warning, but as a witness—guiding us through forbidden sacraments, blood-fed gardens, and the unraveling of doctrinal control. If scripture begins in a breath, these poems offer an exhale that remembers the body it came from. With its blend of lyric precision and theological transgression, the collection reimagines devotion in the language of loam, salt, and naked myth. Here, altars are dismantled and rebuilt from ash. The Gospel of Flesh and Loam is not a rejection of the divine, but a re-rooting of it—into earth, memory, and the untamed mouth of the feminine divine. These poems refuse to flinch where the sacred and the sensual collide. Daniel Culver is the author of Bones of the Earth (Alien Buddha Press), Scorched Psalms (Bottlecap Press), and Postcards from the End (Rinky Dink Press). His poetry leans into the mythic, the ecstatic, and the ruined sacred—always chasing the voice that flickers after collapse.
