Publisher: Fairwood Press Format: Hardcover Length: 116 pages This is a limited hardcover book, numbered and limited to 250 copies. Publisher description: With an introduction by T.M. Wright. In 2000, Tom Piccirilli won the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Poetry with his collection A Student of Hell. In 2002, Piccirilli raised the bar with his second collection, This Cape is Red Because I’ve Been Bleeding. Now, in 2004, Piccirilli outdoes himself with his most personal poetry collection to date. Waiting My Turn To Go Under the Knife confronts us with some of our greatest fears. Piccirilli stabs and twists the knife deep so that we feel the emotion and power of every poem. Piccirilli is one of the strongest voices in horror fiction today, but when he sets his sights on poetry, his literary vision slices inward to examine the lonely human psyche. As a poet, he stands alone. This collection features exquisite artwork by Caniglia, who has illustrated Piccirilli’s work several times before. This signed and numbered hardcover has been limited to 250 copies. "I find this book remarkable on a number of levels. First, the poems themselves are tight and packed with on-target imagery -- in the service of narrative. They are decidedly not obscure and read like wicked, funny, sometimes deeply troubling short stories. Then, together, they form a kind of autobiography-of-the-soul. I've never said it before about a book of poetry -- but it's a real page-turner." -- Jack Ketchum Availability: Usually ships within 2-3 business days. Retail price: $27.95 |
