EDGY POETRY - Chapbook

JACKET SUMMARY:

Not for bedtime reading!

Edgy Poetry is a 30 poem collection of short works designed to provide mystery, evoke curiosity and generally build upon questioning, disquieting thoughts. Poems are arranged in order of creepiness.  

Why would anyone want to read such a work? Why does anyone read a mystery/thriller, watch scary movies, or stare at an accident scene? We need to feel excitement, exhilaration, to capture our curiosity…It is for entertainment and thoughtful pondering that I hope you will consider this work. I have included type of poem and date written with each piece…as it creeps along. 

“Poetry is music in words.”

JACKET REVIEW:

Deftly exploring the boundary of light and dark, madness and sanity, fear and dread, Marlene Mesot, author of iThe Purging Fire, book one of the 4 Elements of Mystery series, weaves on an enchanted loom our darkest thoughts, our fears and uncertainties. Each of her thirty poems force open the door of the dank cellar of your mind, releasing and exposing to the light that which you thought so carefully and  securely hidden.
