Description

Writing Poetry in the Dark brings together some of the most successful contemporary genre poets to discuss topics related to creating dark and fantastical poetry. With the market thriving, publishers are now adding poetry to their catalogs, requesting it for anthologies, and seeking it out for magazines. This guide addresses the unique challenges faced by speculative poets, including crafting monsters from white space, writing hybrid poems, and subverting folklore. The book offers practical suggestions on how to bring fear to the page, write from the wound, let violence loose, channel the weird, and tackle the dark side of daily life. It also provides recommendations for exploring different poetic forms and topics, such as building worlds, writing from different points of view, and examining gender and sexuality on the page. This book will provide a valuable resource for speculative writers interested in exploring poetry with a genre twist, helping to shape the future of poetry and its continued evolution in the market.
