Kaiju Death Spiral: A Class Poetry eBook

Happy National Poetry Month once again! This year, I'm sharing the work of students in my current undergraduate world literature course in Global Horror, where we're currently wrapping up the term at Seton Hill University. In that class, we studied everything from current folk horror novels to Serbian folk vampires. One week, we practiced Japanese poetic forms, inspired by our study of the Godzilla kaiju films, Junji Ito's classic horror manga, Uzumaki, and Jisei death poems. The results were so good, I compiled them into a fun and morbidly twisted ebook, called Kaiju Death Spiral, featuring a fantastic piece of…
