The Hydrocephalic Ward by Steve Rasnic Tem

The Hydrocephalic Ward collects fifty new and previously published poems. Steve Rasnic Tem's works have been compared to that of Franz Kafka, Dino Buzzati, Ray Bradbury, and Raymond Carver, but to quote Joe R. Lansdale: "Steve Rasnic Tem is a school of writing unto himself." His 300 plus published pieces have garnered him the Britsh Fantasy, International Horror Guild, World Fantasy, and Bram Stoker Awards. His latest novel is The Book of Days (Subterranean Press). 

"With all their silence--the long pause between thought and action, between now and the memory--and the spaces they dance through in just the relatively brief span of a life--we are all poets." --from the introduction by Steve Rasnic Tem
