The Grim Trixter is back, this time with a limited edition chapbook collection of more than 30 hauntingly evocative poems that explore everything from nursery rhymes to modern serial killers. Schwan's voice brings beauty to the horrors of the world around her, yet infuses objects of seeming innocence with such a shadowed nature that one cannot help but see that behind her pen is, in the words of her poem "Hands and Dues Paid a Muse," a mind holding devious things.
Rest, rest in silence
Silence where we love to dissect
What might have been living when ink
Was more important
~from "Worm God," in Catacombs and Photographs
Each poem tells a story complete in itself, but together the collection forms a collection of photographs that capture the moments of deepest emotion when the world is raw and vulnerable and at its most beautiful to those who know how to see.
Print run is limited 100 copies, signed by the author and featuring cover art by Lindsay Archer.
Features introduction by Richard Doetsch, author of The Thieves of Heaven and The Thieves of Faith (Dell Books).
