Sobre IBD

'With 26 poems teased from skin and tissue and veiny threads, Brooke MacKenzie’s The Scary Abecedary resounds with brutality, fragility, and fear. A startling debut and a lesson for our times.' -Lee Murray, four-time Bram Stoker Award?-winner and author of Tortured WillowsAbecedary [ ey-bee-see-duh-ree ] : The alphabet, written out in a teaching book, or carved on a wall; a primerThere are so many frightening thingsAnd in imposing an alphabetic structure onto them, I am attempting to control and contain them. It is a futile effort to make everything seem less scaryEach letter of the alphabet has been assigned a fright.Sometimes the poems are scary, sometimes they’re gruesome, sometimes subversive,Sometimes deeply personalBecause the definition of 'scary' shifts and changes depending uponThe layers of feelings and experiences and moodsThat cover our eyes like a film at any given momentOur lenses shift and our pupils dilate and our minds go along for the rideBut there are so many frightening thingsAnd they seem to multiply with each passing day?.Will we ever be safe again?Were we ever really safe at all?
