I Awaken in October - Scott J. Couturier - Bog

SCOTT J. COUTURIER has distinguished himself with poems of uncanny beauty and dread, appearing in the pages of Spectral Realms, The Audient Void, Eternal Haunted Summer, and other journals of the Weird. His poems are singularly sensitive to the darker aspects of nature. Jackanapes Press is pleased to offer I Awaken in October-Couturier's first volume of poetry-which collects a cornucopia of seasonal horrors and autumnal delights.In I Awaken In October, rites of autumnal adulation are performed alongside offerings to every phase of the Year's Wheel, seasons sequentially explored through lenses of veneration, dread, and supernatural awe. All wending back to that most bittersweet of moments, when once more we awaken-just as the dead do-to October's majesty. Follow the path to Summer's end, where the last gold-litten days malinger into cobweb; where gleaming trails of jack-o -lanterns light the way; where Queen Mab and Cernunnos reign.With a foreword by Rebecca Buchanan, and an introduction by the author.Featuring 20 full-page illustrations by Dan Sauer.
