Poetry and Interior Art by Erik Fuhrer. Cover Art by Kimberly Androlowicz.
The Apocalypse as love story, as a MAGA hat, as a poem: the Apocalypse personified. This collection by Erik Fuhrer showcases his skill at making the fantastical mundane and the mundane fantastical. Every piece in this book has a lingering bite, a tiny world-ender that sinks into you and doesn’t let go.
—Cathy Ulrich, author of Ghosts of You

Poems by Erik Fuhrer. Cover and Interior Images by Kimberly Androlowicz.
This book of poems is a horror film. It is a book in which the weird transformations, animate horror, and tender gore of Argento, Cronenberg, and Carpenter receive a horrible rebirth in language. Bodies invaded by flies, walls covered with cockroaches, spores that ache to sicken you proliferate within these pages, squarely sourced in the soil of the everyday. Read this book; insert these poems into your skin.
- Ali Raz, co-author of Human Tetris

In Erik Fuhrer's not human enough for the census, there arecreatures of dark habits, organ breathers, tree butchers, and 1 in 100scientists agree the state of god is liquid. In these poems, aftermath requiresa new language. Dust and ash compound with mother and father, mud compoundswith blossom. These spare lyrics contain numerous transformations, and"just because the body is gone/does not mean the absence of body isgone." Absences loom everywhere--the mouth, the breath, the treacherousgod in the tempest. -Traci Brimhall

“Inspired by Woolf’s first novel, ‘The Voyage Out,’ precisely to cut her words loose from any settled meanings, Erik Fuhrer’s ‘VOS’ shimmers with the multiplicity and plasticity of language. The result is a remarkable series of poems that assemble human and nonhuman (as well as what Fuhrer calls ‘Honestly inhuman’) life in playful, strange, intimate, and often surreal arrangements.”
