Step into the shadows with Noir [Or, When the Night Comes]. Darkness is never just one thing. In Noir, award-winning poet Derek R. King explores its many faces: the darkness within, the Gothic and supernatural, the harsh glare of city streets after nightfall, and the intimate shadows where passion, love and longing reside. Across four distinct parts, the collection travels from psychological conflict, isolation and despair into hauntings, ghosts, monsters and strange nocturnal worlds. From there, the landscape shifts to mean streets, neon, decay, violence and lives lived at society's edges, before darkness takes on another form entirely-becoming sensual, tender and deeply human.
Here are poems of shadow and light, beauty and the grotesque, tenderness and torment, fear and desire. Gothic figures share the page with broken city streets; moonlight and candlelight sit beside rust, rain, mirrors, alleyways and restless minds. Sometimes unsettling, sometimes sensual, sometimes starkly urban, Noir invites the reader to follow wherever the night leads. For readers drawn to Gothic poetry, supernatural imagery, urban noir, dark verse and poetry that finds beauty in the shadows.
