Horror poems should invade the ordinariness of the day and allow
the reader to sense the chill of the uncanny. They should form
dream images that haunt during sleep. This broad collection of
horror poetry ranges in subject matter from death to ghosts, from
dark corners of the human psyche and human behavior to Lovecraftian
monsters. They will haunt and they will cling to the mind like an
ancient beast's tentacles. Be careful looking over your shoulder if
you feel fingers touch it--you may find that the fingers are
fleshless but the claws sharp.
From Field to Thicket won the 2006 Mary Belle Campbell Poetry Book
Award of the North Carolina Writers' Network. Jim Clark,
Professor/Writer-in-Residence in the English Department at Barton
College in Wilson, NC, says, ""Mortality haunts these poems of
love, family, friendship, and betrayal. Well-crafted but with a
casual but elegant formality, they set the scalpel to our
conflicted humanity, asking the big questions that don't always
have comforting answers."
A young boy. An old man. And a journey of the heart.
"My fraternal twin, Michael, died two hours after birth,
drowning from fluid in his lungs. When I was two, my Mom and Dad
were killed in a head-on collision with a tractor-trailer. I was
reared by Granddaddy and Granny, who had lived with my folks in the
same rented home. I remembered neither my parents' lives nor their
deaths. I suppose that's a blessing and a curse. My grandparents
had provided details my young mind could understand, but I pushed
them away. I did not want them.
Back in that field after thirty years, I stood poised at the
edge of an abyss."
End of Summer is a poignant, literary novel that explores the
mysteries of life, love and death through the eyes of a nine year
old boy...interpreted by the man he grew to be.
A deeply moving and passionate book, Michael Potts' End of
Summer is a poignant literary novel about childhood and memory.
This is contemporary Southern fiction at its best. In textured
language and with heartfelt attention to detail, Potts' nuanced
portrayal of rural life in southern Appalachia and a young boy's
initial encounter with death reminds us that life at the economic
margins can be culturally and spiritually rich, and that even as
absences and losses sometimes damage us, these can also strengthen
and redeem.
