Excited to see the release of the Horror Writers Association Poetry Showcase on Kindle.
HWA Poetry Showcase Volume Five is edited by Stephanie M. Wytovich and co-curated by Jurors Mercedes M. Yardley and Michael Arnzen. It contains provocative and groundbreaking horror poets Donna Lynch, R.D. Lynch, Sara Tantlinger, and many more.
I’m honoured to have my first ever published poem Some Velvet Mourning included in this volume.
I can’t wait to read all the others! And I’m sure you can’t wait, either.
