Weeds grow where they want to; not where they're told to grow...

Two books from Craig Podmore
Craig Podmore's poetry not only leaves the reader shaken but often shaking as well. This is poetry which is raw, brutally honest and scathing in its examination of the darker sides of human consciousness and desire. Biting and often bleak, Podmore's poetry shows no mercy in its effective dissection of politics and religion. I am a Gun is a remarkable collection which is full-voiced, hard-hitting and intelligent. - Dale Winslow
(Dale Winslow is a published poet, editor for NeoPoiesis Press and co-editor of the Poetry Ring feature for ETC: A Review of General Semantics. She lives in British Columbia, Canada.)
*******************
I am a Gun
I am no Warsaw hooker
With my milk teeth
Under my pillow.
I am no atom bomb
Made in America
With far right Christian
Smiles.
I am a gun,
Fully loaded for a war that
Means something.
To me.

On the Edge of Human Horrors
Sometime the flowers will bloom
And not the tears that shed from
The sense of being.
Sometime existence won’t hurt like
Crucifixion or strappado but only the
Moss of stillbirths -
Perpetuating stale beauties.
Broken brown, crumbling halos,
Curling, introvert cradles
Of coy comforts
On the edge of human horrors.
We are misunderstood
In the face of nature
And of a magpie’s eye
During a diamond funeral.
Death is more attractive than sex.
Like a catwalk.
And a car crash.
