Poems by Erik Fuhrer
Erik is a wordsmith of the highest caliber: their passion and erudition radiate from every phrase, each a carefully constructed blade fearlessly peeling back layers of the anatomy of trauma.
- Stephen Susco, Screenwriter of The Grudge and The Grudge 2

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

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.

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
