Now available from Puddles of Sky Press: The Man with the Spider Scar a long poem by Michael e. Casteels.
The Man with the Spider Scar is a collage poem sourced from two pocket Westerns by Louis L'Amour. By snagging brief snippets of text the poem was slowly composed over the span of a few years. Broken into fifty minimalist pieces, the poem tells the story of a nameless horse thief and his surreal, and sometimes bloody search for an untouched land.
There was in me
a quality I never trusted.
A dull fury paused
in the prime of its life.
Utterly hackles.
Complete fists.
A quiet sort of man,
no older than myself.
Printed at Coach House Printing, this is the second perfect bound book published by Puddles of Sky Press. Printed on 70lb Zephyr Laid paper, wrapped with a textured 80lb card stock cover, measuring 4.25 by 5.5 inches, and 68 pages in length, The Man with the Spider Scar a small book that packs a big punch.
