Darker Objects: Coming Fall of 2023 from Indie Blu(e) Publishing

Christine E. Ray weaves pieces of her original poetry and prose deftly alongside the fierce words and striking artwork of talented collaborators in her latest offering, Darker Objects. Poetic solos, duets, and themed anthems combine potently in sections with evocative titles like ‘American Gothic’, ‘Ghosted’, ‘Nocturnes’, ‘Viral’ ‘Rooms so Still, So Silent’, ‘Tongue-Tied’, ‘Tenterhooks’, ‘Rage Against the Machine’, and ‘Feminist Manifesto’.  Lightening threads of passion, rage, love, and grief are the dark, irresistible heart of Darker Objects.
