Book Description
This is a collection of poems and lyrics inspired by characters and situations in "The Vault of Souls", Tampa's premier performance art experience with a dark and sinister twist. The residents of The Vault of Souls are paranormal personages from a time gone by. Many of them have been trapped since the early 1920's. This book gives guests who experienced this one-of-a-kind live performance a deeper understanding of the interactive characters. But don't worry, this book is just as entertaining and disturbing for those who didn't get the chance to participate in the live performances. Scott Swenson is known for his whimsically twisted approach to poetry. One critic of his last book (Dreaming in Shades of Fear) commented that Swenson's style is a "...twisted mix of Edgar Allan Poe and Dr. Seuss..." and this book continues to refine this style.

Book Description
'Bright Dead Things buoyed me in this dismal year. I'm thankful for this collection, for its wisdom and generosity, for its insistence on holding tight to beauty even as we face disintegration and destruction.' Celeste Ng, author of Everything I Never Told You A book of bravado and introspection, of feminist swagger and harrowing loss, Bright Dead Things considers how we build our identities out of place and human contact - tracing in intimate detail the ways the speaker's sense of self both shifts and perseveres as she moves from New York City to rural Kentucky, loses a dear parent, ages past the capriciousness of youth and falls in love. In these extraordinary poems Ada Limón's heart becomes a 'huge beating genius machine' striving to embrace and understand the fullness of the present moment. 'I am beautiful. I am full of love. I am dying,' the poet writes. Building on the legacies of forebears such as Frank O'Hara, Sharon Olds and Mark Doty, Limón's work is consistently generous, accessible, and 'effortlessly lyrical' (New York Times) - though every observed moment feels complexly thought, felt and lived.

Book Description
Dark poetry and prose written at the intersection of Blackness, Queerness, and Neurodivergence, where magic is mistaken for madness, organic hosts willingly bind themselves with artificial intelligence, and instruments designed for music are enchanted for revenge. Ghost ships embark on twisted, versical affairs with krakens. Ghostly husbands believe "til death do us part" must be mutual. Keenly aware that we are worlds within ourselves as well as fractal instances of the world as a whole, these words written predominantly during the first two years of the global pandemic unite revolution, multiplicity.and a soul-searing sense of melancholia. Within me / Without me is a revelatory work, an intimate yet universal discourse on the concepts of self and society. Saulson's creation will possess you: it will inhabit your skin, surge through your veins, and invade your synapses, each story and poem foreshadowing the 'pendulum switch' of acceptance and celebration that our new world demands. With echoes of Octavia Butler, Within me/ Without me sings with verve and vibrancy. A ground-breaking collection." -Lee Murray, double Bram Stoker Award(R)-winner and author of Grotesque: Monster Stories. "Within me/Without me is a collection of refreshing and diverse storylines in poetry and prose. They speak of how to be human in a horrific world, where complicated emotions from divergent cultures and society norms are like oil and water. Saulson's seduction pulls you through a vice-grip of social structures in marginalized conflict, slipping through scarred, but strong, unique, and imperfectly loveable. It satisfies the deep, dark thirst for the personal nature of poems and storytelling." -Rain Graves, two-time Bram Stoker Award(R)-winning poet and author of Barfodder "Saulson's empowering dark speculative collection reveals self-made myth & earth magic through the sweet/bitter memories of life and love." -Linda D. Addison, award-winning author, HWA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient and SFPA Grand Master.

Book Description
For readers of Roberto Bolaño's Savage Detectives and Muriel Spark's Loitering with Intent, this "sublime" and "delightfully unhinged" metaphysical mystery disguised as a picaresque romp follows one poet's spectacular fall from grace to ask a vital question: Is everyone a plagiarist? (Nicolette Polek, author of Imaginary Museums). A scandal has shaken the literary world. As the unnamed narrator of Dead Souls discovers at a cultural festival in central London, the offender is Solomon Wiese, a poet accused of plagiarism. Later that same evening, at a bar near Waterloo Bridge, our narrator encounters the poet in person, and listens to the story of Wiese's rise and fall, a story that takes the entire night—and the remainder of the novel—to tell. Wiese reveals his unconventional views on poetry, childhood encounters with "nothingness," a conspiracy involving the manipulation of documents in the public domain, an identity crisis, a retreat to the country, a meeting with an ex-serviceman with an unexpected offer, the death of an old poet, a love affair with a woman carrying a signpost, an entanglement with a secretive poetry cult, and plans for a triumphant return to the capital, through the theft of poems, illegal war profits, and faked social media accounts—plans in which our narrator discovers he is obscurely implicated. Dead Souls is a metaphysical mystery brilliantly encased in a picaresque romp, a novel that asks a vital question for anyone who makes or engages with art: Is everyone a plagiarist?
