Bombing the Thinker
Bombing the Thinker is the eighth book of poetry by the well known and award winning Darren C. Demaree. It is a rumination on middle america as told through the thought of the sculpture The Thinker, originally named The Poet, by Auguste Rodin. The Thinker Demaree is speaking from is one of the 27 Rodin supervised casts that sits outside of the Museum of Modern Art in Cleveland, Ohio. He documents all that he has seen and experienced around him, such as war, protest, anguish, love and ordinary life. It is a book that archives time as seen through a fixed art form, as well as a man.
Burning It Down
Burning It Down by Darren C. Demaree At a time so charged with volatility, from an atmosphere so polarized, and nations not only socially-distanced but divided, comes this timely collection, volcanic eruptions of the social and political injustices that ravage the landscape. Furious and debauched and careening, with an intensity that never lets up, Darren C. Demaree reimagines The Bacchae through the lens of American politics, Ohio, and revenge in this stunning book-length poem about six friends and one drunk, fire-filled night. "We all / became brides / & grooms of this / night." This was a WILD read! Once I started I couldn't stop! --Todd Dillard, author of Ways We Vanish

The Pony Governor
The Pony Governor by Darren C. Demaree is a series of politically charged poems that challenge shallow leadership and attack the abuse of power at the hands of those in charge. While at times aggressive, and with a penchant for not holding punches, the collection remains fair, aimed at engagement, redemption, and restoration from brokenness. Demaree addresses issues relevant to all readers attempting to find their way in the labyrinth of modern politics. He maps emotion through the various milieus people find themselves inhabiting under leadership gone bad. Despite the pain and struggle the poems often exhibit, they offer hope for a future free of exploitation, free of underhandedness, free of deception. These poems whisper and shout and ache and quiver. In the end, they stand accusatory and fearless.

Many Full Hands Applauding Inelegantly
Birth (A Violent Sound in Almost Every Place), Life (We are Arrows) and Death (All the Birds Are Leaving) are woven together on the circle that surrounds and unites us all in Darren C. Demaree's latest tripartite collection of poems.
The Nineteen Steps Between Us
Darren C. Demaree yet again dazzles the literary intellect with his depthless exploration of human relationship, connection, and the transcendent community notable in any dyad. Through language that holds utmost beauty for its starkness on the page, Demaree guides the reader through nineteen cycles of poetry to once more move readers beyond the molten landscape of the earth to something extraterrestrial, something beyond the human that, without words, might never be touched at all. Here, he constructs a book with a voice to feel in every aspect of the body.
Blue and Blue and Blue
blue and blue and blue conveys the overwhelming importance of having (every so often) a complete washing off of your desire for success. Heading to the sea or the ocean on a trip is a classic setting for such narratives because of the immense power and repetition of the water, something that can bring a life into starker focus. If you can find a way to be simple and loving and a part of community that takes care with each other in a pronounced humanistic way, then everything else is superfluous. This book was written to bring you back into that.
