Sonnets like you’ve never experienced before! Condensed… Expanded … Exploded. Leading you deeper and deeper into a never-ending circle of darkness, terror, and horror. In Corona Obscura, Collings “has created some strange word alchemy that touched me on a cellular level, making me smile, building excitement in my gut as I traveled from one poem to the next. Each piece uncovered another part of the dark, elemental dimensions traveled; each ending line, like a breath held then released as a new beginning for the next poem.”—Linda Addison, multiple Bram Stoker Award® winner for poetry Michael R. Collings, HWC Grand Master of Horror, demonstrates his technical virtuosity in this “Crown” of poems

Talking about Michael's poetry and verse were some of the very first blog posts I did here when I started back in - wow- 2009! And I only have a greater appreciation for his art with age.Linda D. Addison writes the forward and says it so well that I have to share a line here "Michael has created some strange word alchemy that touched me on a cellular level, making me smile, building excitement in my gut as I traveled from one poem to the next."
I feel the same way but even her description is poetry.
Charles Gramlich's review reminded me that I had to read this too! Thanks for sharing such a love of language Charles.
There are a lot of great poets out there but Michael is amazing and he is still alive and churning out more even as I type this. So much of what I love about language is typically from the dusty past, from those who are passed and buried.
But Michael's work is alive in the heated now, its pure visceral byzantine grandeur. I read it and wish I had come up with such a turn of phrase. The sheer beauty and horrific dichotmoy moves me. As a lover of language, I am in awe at his words and equally moved by them.
I love to reread these sonnets and get in that void, that passion before I jump back into my own wordsmithing because I believe it helps me attain a higher level for my own work.
The man is one of the best and so deserving of the Grand Master award he received at Horror Con earlier this year.
I'll be delving back into this and others soon enough to walk these midnight trails into amaranth bleeding crimson as starlight fails.
That was a line that in particular jumped out at me.
Highly recomended for lovers of prose and verse.

Corona Obscura Sonets Dark and Elemental Michael R Collings Linda D Addison Michaelbrent Collings 9781534958555 Books Reviews
This collection of linked sonnets gives a standard form new energy. The last line becomes the first line of the next poem. Apparitions ends “That all desire is paramount and just, / In the fragile mind where vampires bloom.” Attic begins “In the fragile Mind, where vampires bloom, /In blackened voids beneath raw, ancient eaves, / Rustle dead mind-specters in wall-less tombs.” Collings reflection on creatures and our place in the universe is inspiring and intoxicating.
This Finnegan's Wake of poetry consists of forty-nine poems, each having as its first line, the last line of the preceding poem. That same link binds the the forty-ninth and the first poems together, creating a tightly cohesive single work, rather than a collection of poems. The forty-nine sonets [sic, and not an error] are also bound to each other by the common general theme of darkness (obscuritas), and create the effect of a progression into and through a single night, filled with fear, guilt, terrors, and memory.
Collings is a scholar, and here resurrects and expands the corona, an Elizabethan poetical convention. He is also a legitimate poet, and these are beautiful writings, distinctive from each other despite the interweaving and the common theme. He is moreover a writer (indeed, as of 2016, a "Grand Master") of horror, so these poems are populated with horrific ideas and tropes, including witches, zombies, blobs, and blood rites. The poems are also redolent with a wise, musky, humorful humanity -- the zombie is not just a zombie, but the sleep-deprived poet trying to respond to the midnight cries of his child.
This is horror writing at its very best; an individual walks into the dark to confront terror, and in sharing the narrator's particular terrors and triumphs, the reader is shown the beauty in her her own suffering, and the path forward.
