Schwartz's broadside <span style="font-style:italic;">Bird Ku</span> is still available so buy it!<br /><br /><br />Bits and Pieces<br /><br />Review © 2009 Dru Pagliassotti<br />Creative Commons License<br />This review is licensed under a Creative Commons License.<br /><br />Bits and Pieces<br />Greg Schwartz<br />©2007, Spec House of Poetry<br /><br />Night Falls<br /><br />night falls<br />like a curtain<br />on a quiet inn<br />deep in the woods.<br />the perfect setting<br />for a horror story<br />if only<br />the damn birds<br />would stop chirping.<br /><br />(—Greg Schwartz, Bits and Pieces<br />reprinted with permission of the author)<br /><br />Not too many poets turn their hand to horror, and fewer do it well enough to get published consistently, but Greg Schwartz's collection Bits and Pieces proves it can be done. The collection contains 15 snippets of the horrific that Schwartz sold to various venues over a five-year span, 2003-2007, including poems that run from the not-so-unusual love poetry to the undead to a quirkier, more original world of predatory trees and, above, cheerfully irreverent birds.<br /><br />"Night Falls," a 2008 Rhysling Award nominee, is my favorite in the collection, as it confounds the reader's usual horror-collection expectations. Indeed, that's one of Schwartz's strengths as a horror poet; he's much like the birds he describes in "Night Falls," his dry sense of humor offering a humorous counterpoint to horror's oftimes drearily chilling atmosphere. We see Schwartz's humor emerge most notably in "Night Falls," "Danny, Danny," "Lying in Wait," and "The Monster in My Closet," as well as in other poems in this collection. These short, smile-coaxing works scattered amid the darker poetry add greatly to the chapbook's charm and undoubtedly contributes to Schwartz's success in getting his work published.<br /><br />Bits and Pieces is a limited-edition chapbook with a cardstock cover illustrated by Cathy Buburuz. Schwartz blogs at Haiku & Horror . His poem "Under the Bed," not included in this collection, was published in The Harrow's anthology Midnight Lullabies.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386796354673009306.post-59547273733226557552009-03-15T06:58:00.000-07:002009-03-15T07:08:40.741-07:00Rhysling Award Nominations 20092 poems published this year by Spec House have received Rhysling Award nominations.

I thought I'd pass it along here...<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Review: Wanting the Mouth of a Lover by Charles Gramlich</span><br />Wanting the Mouth of a Lover is a chapbook of 23 dark haiku by Charles Gramlich, a name well-known by the many fans of his Talera novels. The poems in this collection tend toward the vampirific (if that's a word), but there are some other just plain creepy ones, like this little gem:<br /><br />faint<br />laughters<br />clowns<br />in<br />the<br />dark<br /><br />Gramlich seems quite at ease writing haiku. Each poem is given its own page, which might anger tree-huggers, but I happen to think it's the best way to present haiku. They are also written in the vertical Japanese style, which you don't see very much of these days. I can only think of one other poet who uses that style consistently.<br /><br />The chapbook was originally available in a regular and deluxe edition, but the deluxe edition (which came signed, hand-numbered, and hand-stitched) sold out within a week. The regular edition is still available, and it contains an introduction by the author that touches on both the poems in the book and the haiku form itself.<br /><br />black<br />soul<br />aches<br />in<br />the<br />night<br />she<br />comes<br /><br />Gramlich is a skilled speculative poet. His poems have appeared in Dreams & Nightmares and The Shantytown Anomaly, among other magazines, but Wanting the Mouth of a Lover is his first collection of poetry. Hopefully there will be more.<br /><br />Copies are available from Spec House of Poetry for $5 plus shipping. <br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><br />Reviewed by Greg Schwartz on his <a href="http://greg-schwartz.blogspot.com/">Haiku & Horror</a> blog.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386796354673009306.post-81884985667973520122009-01-20T21:04:00.000-08:002009-01-20T21:27:20.898-08:00OUT NOW-- Greg Schwartz - bird ku<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYdJFAd9SVdNGfbfp04IPEWWO16c2x9w03ueGhjpNZqNlpNUtGx_E6g7kLaqMrtvwDeJwYaMUty886B2MF2OrIP2QKzlO-6WCpWjRhIWmMIpHFp8t_tOi1lm8H1kLbyiJyjhqPx6yjPNKa/s1600-h/bird+ku+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYdJFAd9SVdNGfbfp04IPEWWO16c2x9w03ueGhjpNZqNlpNUtGx_E6g7kLaqMrtvwDeJwYaMUty886B2MF2OrIP2QKzlO-6WCpWjRhIWmMIpHFp8t_tOi1lm8H1kLbyiJyjhqPx6yjPNKa/s320/bird+ku+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293608853280468706" /></a><br />Greg Schwartz's broadside <span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">bird ku</span></span> is now available.

These five will probably be grouped together for some sort of package as well. I can't really confirm any of the authors yet, but the short list is exciting. There are a few spots still left open for a couple of these broadsides, and we are accepting submissions. Send a few poems to spechouseofpoetry@yahoo.com.<br /><br />And lastly one small hint...

The three of us are a part of a promotional brochure called <span style="font-style:italic;">Aurore Australe</span> (Southern Lights), which has poetry from each of us. This brochure is available in the Spec House Store and is only $0.01 (in other words free, the penny is just to get the store front to recognize the product). Pick up a copy or two, they look incredible.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
