Some men come home from war. Some carry it home in the chest — sealed in a jar with the lid rusted shut.
Beneath the Blackened Earth is a gothic poetry collection built in the architecture of Edgar Allan Poe — but the darkness in these pages was not borrowed from a library. It was earned. Written by an Army combat medic turned psychiatric nurse of more than twenty-five years, these poems move through battlefield and ward, through moral injury and the long witness of the dying, carrying Poe's cadence and a soldier's unflinching eye.
This is not costume gothic. There is real blood beneath this earth.
Across five movements the collection descends — from the war within the flesh to the quiet that waits beneath all of it — and asks the question every survivor knows by heart: what do we bury, and what refuses to stay buried?
Read it once for the dark. Read it again for the truth underneath.

Anbieter: Home-set, Mannheim, Deutschland
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Softcover/Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Some truths grow best in the dark.Beneath the Blackened Earth is a literary Gothic collection of fifty dark poems framed by two book-ends, descending through grief, mortality, memory, war, faith, fear, power, and the truths people often bury because naming them would make them real.This is not horror built from monsters hiding in the shadows. The shadows here belong to people.Across the collection, beauty and dread occupy the same ground. The dead remain in memory. Institutions leave scars. Faith wrestles with silence. War follows people home. Grief changes shape without disappearing. And beneath ordinary life lies the uncomfortable knowledge that what has been buried is rarely truly gone.Written in a tradition that draws from Gothic literature, confessional poetry, war verse, and moral horror, Beneath the Blackened Earth favors atmosphere over spectacle and psychological unease over gore. Its poems move through intimate loss and larger human cruelties with imagery that is bleak, reflective, and often hauntingly beautiful.These are poems for readers who do not need darkness softened before examining it.For readers of Gothic poetry, dark verse, literary horror, grief writing, psychological poetry, war poetry, and meditations on mortality, Beneath the Blackened Earth asks what remains after comforting explanations fail.Fifty dark poems. Two book-ends. And beneath them all, what the ground remembers. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 174. Artikel-Nr. IB-482965
