Steven Withrow

THE EXORCISED LYRIC is a collaboration of speculative poetry by Steven Withrow and Frank Coffman. It includes two collaborative sonnet sequences: "The Exorcised Lyric" and "Toward Solstice Station." The reader will also find 20 new individual poems by each of these formalist poets and both a cover and amazing interior illustrations by Paul "Mutartis" Boswell. This tome follows publications of individual collections by these established poets of the speculative: THE SUN SHIPS & OTHER POEMS, and THE BEDLAM PHILHARMONIC by Withrow; and THE COVEN'S HORNBOOK & OTHER POEMS and BLACK FLAMES & GLEAMING SHADOWS by Coffman. The two collaborations focus upon a haunted-perhaps possessed -minister and poet whose piously intended lines are somehow altered into blasphemies in the former sequence, and upon an time-and-space shifting trip by train that present the reader with, seemingly, the same father, mother, and daughter but traveling through different eras and places in a journey across America-East to West.
