Lisa Marie Basile’s Apocryphal reviewed by Lisa A. Flowers
Lisa A. Flowers reviews Lisa Marie Basile’s Apocryphal (Noctuary) via Kenneth Anger, the Brothers Grimm, David Lynch, Edna St. Vincent Millay, the Song of Solomon, et al. "A book whose images gleam like jewels poured down a long black hole."
Now Available: “Yours for Eternity: A Love Story on Death Row,” by Lorri Davis & Damien Echols
After seeing a documentary about the West Memphis Three, Lorri Davis — a New York based landscape architect — wrote Damien Echols a letter, beginning a thirteen-year correspondence that witnessed their marriage while Echols was still on death row and culminated in Echols’ release in 2011.
Poems by Dan Hoy
The day
is a measure
of what it
takes the Sun
to forget us.
Noted: Judy Byington
Tipped off by a TSky fan who knows our love for all things related to "satanic ritual abuse," we're delighted to find the genre's most recent author, Judy Byington is the requisite caliber of batshit insane.
Joe Sacksteder reviews Gabriel Blackwell’s The Natural Dissolution of Fleeting-Improvised Men: The Last Letter of H.P. Lovecraft
The thing about Lovecraft’s characters is that they desperately want you to believe them but desperately don’t want to believe themselves. Blackwell embodies this ambivalence in order to confuse the distinction between fiction and non-fiction, editor and author, sickness and inspiration.
George Kalamaras: poem from Scraps of Said
Of a vestment wrapped
around the wrong tree.
Of wild dogs gorging
the bone. Of a mirror
following me dream to
dream, several lifetimes at a time.
