The fifth volume of HWA's acclaimed annual poetry anthology features dark verse by Donna Lynch, R. J. Joseph, Sara Tantlinger, and many more.
Each year the Horror Writers Association opens a call for submissions to the members of the HWA for the annual poetry showcase.
Selections for the showcase are chosen by a jury, and this year's showcase was judged by Mercedes M. Yardley and Michael A. Arzen. Stephanie M. Wytovich was editor.
I really enjoyed this anthology of poems.
The HWA Poetry Showcase is the perfect way to discover new poets who write dark poetry. I immediately ordered a collection from Cynthia Pelayo after reading her poem, and several other poets were added to my wishlist.
Some of my favorite poems in the showcase were:
I Am by Cynthia Pelayo
It's Coming by Rob E. Boley
He Said by Kerri-Leigh Grady
Libri Haruspicy by Amanda Hard
Thirst by Annie Neugebauer
The Witch Hunt by Jacopo della Quercia
The Joy of Sewing by Christina Sng
If you are looking for a great anthology of poetry and a way to discover some current dark poets, I recommend checking out Volume V of the HWA Poetry Showcase.
