    1. Casey Renee Kiser says:
      Casey s work strives to expose the distorted mainstream ideas of beauty, while bringing quirkiness to the daring truth of self reflection With dark, abrupt and often unsettling humor, she writes about identity, relationships, depression, mental illness and the human condition Her recent work is full of undertones struggling to overcome the trauma, self loathing, and confusion of parental narcissistic abuse.

      It s after reading a couple Poems that I thought Ah, that s where Darkness from the title comes from.Although some are very dark, the humour used in these poems makes it lighter and easier to read.I have enjoyed reading this book and you d be able to relate to one or of these poems, that s for sure.

      I like the sense of pale humor present in a number of these dark, realistically gloomy poems The subject matter is black, but the tone of voice constantly reminds you that the poet lives with this darkness on a daily basis, and keeps you firmly anchored in that grim fact I received this collection of poems as the result of a giveaway, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
