It's a rare novelist who can write a satisfying novella, and rarer still a a novelist/novella writer who can create poetry that stirs the breast and feeds the head. This unbelievable collection of dark spells in poetic form are pure witchery in the form of language. A mystical shroud of subterranean desires interlaces these poems that each seems drawn from an inner well of bleak emotions that are at once bizarrely alien yet completely recognizable. Run this dark music through your head-- "wing's hush": tell me/the moth's lullaby/dreams of candles/nightmares of burn/the cadence and rhymes/are those of flame/dying for the mysteries of light/. If a finer poem describing irresistible impulse has ever been written, I haven't read it. I was moved to tears. These are poems that disturb, amaze, horrify and touch the soul with their beauty. And that is the purpose and majesty of poetry. It is the artful crafting of words which produce an emotional reaction in the reader that is so elusive and so satisfying. This is a magnificent and soaring achievement that deserves a wide readership. Read these mind-tilting poems. Read them hard. Then read them again.
