Monster Movie Aesthetic, by Mark Anderson-Fitzpatrick

Poetry, chapbook, 32 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

How far would you be willing to stick your head in the werewolf's mouth? Far enough to see the empty chambers of his heart?

In this collection, Anderson-Fitzpatrick offers a kaleidoscopic array of poems that would be welcome at a seance or the opening of a midnight monster movie marathon. Inside are poems about vampires and cemeteries and other spooky things. And Anderson-Fitzpatrick manages to capture them all in tight, vivid imagery. But don't be fooled by the subject material. There is a poem for everyone in this little book of monsterous transformations.

Mark Anderson-Fitzpatrick lives and writes in Spokane, Washington. He co-founded the popular Broken Mic poetry series and has traveled the United States performing at open mics, poetry slams, taverns, coffee shops, and libraries. From 2017 to 2019 he served as Spokane’s poet laureate.
