Drawing upon Edmund Burkeæs definition of the sublimeæthe odd beauty associated with fear and self-preservation; our astonished delight in what destroys, what overpowers and compels us toward darknessæthese strange poems mine the sinister fault lines between weird fiction, expressionism, gothic horror, and notions of the absurd, cracking the mundane shell of our given metaphysical order. In the traditions of Nerval, Trakl, Schulz, Tadiæ, Poe, and contemporaries Aase Berg and Jeff VanderMeer, the wonderful disassociation brought to bear on the reader lies in the conjuring of unprecedented worlds, their myths and logics, their visions and transformationsæworlds that resist interpretation almost successfully, and reveal to us the uncanny and nightmarish.

so-so

I received a copy of these poems from #netgalley in exchange for my review. If you enjoy writing that‘s described as ā€a fever dream,ā€¯ then these poems are for you. The language builds arresting and often disturbing or grotesque images. As well as that was done, however, I found the poems somewhat hollow.

A compilation of poetry that writes on the darker side of humanity. Beautifully written and compiled. Very enjoyable to read.
