Barfodder: Poetry Written in Dark Bars and Questionable Cafes

Finalist for the 2009 Bram Stoker Award for Poetry.

A poetry collection.

Worlds created; nightmares given. The universe is a tiny grain of sand, and by turns, it opens up into a revolving world of horrific little poems in BARFODDER by Rain Graves.

Each poem tells a distinct story from serial killers, to love and loss, to the raising of Cthulhu in a haiku.

Each poem in this collection was inspired by and written in a dark bar or questionable café throughout her travels... called forth by ominous candles, succulent liquors, and velvet curtains to delight the reader with a sensory of dark, demonic, luxurious imagery.

It slides off the tongue like river slime... or a very good port (depending on if you swallow).
