Demon Dance

Vernon Frazer is a fighter, a no-frillsm body slammer who throws his punches straight on and aims for the most vulnerable organ, the heart. You can keep your eyes on his hands--full of bleeding byzantine verse--but when he locks eyes with you, you turn away at your own peril. Humanity is spoken here. Demon Dance is an exhausting but exhilarating volume of poems. Following the searing, confessional style of Bukowski, Ginsberg, Kerouac and Celine; Frazer absorbs his influences and vaults beyond them, into his own consciousness, like a man who has outlived a deadly disease and has nothing to lose. Read Demon Dance and be amazed.
