Barfodder
A collection of over 100 macabre poems which display a wry wit.
The Early Poetry of Robert Graves
Like many men of his generation, poet Robert Graves was indelibly marked by his experience of trench warfare in World War I. The horrific battles in which he fought and his guilt over surviving when so many perished left Graves shell-shocked and disoriented, desperately seeking a way to bridge the rupture between his conventional upbringing and the uncertainties of post-war British society. In this study of Graves's early poetry, Frank Kersnowski explores how his war neurosis opened a door into the unconscious for Graves and led him to reject the essential components of the Western idea of reality-reason and predictability. In particular, Kersnowski traces the emergence in Graves's early poems of a figure he later called The White Goddess, a being at once terrifying and glorious, who sustains life and inspires poetry. Drawing on interviews with Graves's family, as well as unpublished correspondence and drafts of poems, Kersnowski argues that Graves actually experienced the White Goddess as a real being and that his life as a poet was driven by the purpose of celebrating and explaining this deity and her matriarchy.
The Graves of Tarim
The Graves of Tarim narrates the movement of an old diaspora across the Indian Ocean over the past five hundred years. Ranging from Arabia to India and Southeast Asia, Engseng Ho explores the transcultural exchanges—in kinship and writing—that enabled Hadrami Yemeni descendants of the Muslim prophet Muhammad to become locals in each of the three regions yet remain cosmopolitans with vital connections across the ocean. At home throughout the Indian Ocean, diasporic Hadramis engaged European empires in surprising ways across its breadth, beyond the usual territorial confines of colonizer and colonized. A work of both anthropology and history, this book brilliantly demonstrates how the emer...

The Gossamer Eye
This is The Gossamer Eye, Winner of the 2003 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in the Poetry Collection category! The Gossamer Eye is a book of poetry, and some fiction, too, by a new breed of wordsmiths. Mark McLaughlin, Rain Graves and David Niall Wilson - the three authors represented in this collection - write in numerous speculative genres, with an emphasis on horror and dark fantasy. They give readings of their work at conventions and other literary venues, and are active in various national writers' groups. Their fiction often appears in major anthologies, but they haven't forgotten that poetry is an important part of their creative lives. Their writings breathe new life into the world of dark verse. They prove that the poetry of the macabre can be much more than just the silken, sad rustling of purple curtains. They explore many new avenues of expression - with wit, humor, anger, and always, passion. The stories in The Gossamer Eye range from very dark and macabre to humorous and quirky to absolutely bizarre. You'll meet a cross dresser who impersonates Marilyn and his friend Ziggy, a Bowie impersonator; witness The Fall of the House of Escher; and be intro
