by Ryan Meyer

Ryan Meyer departs from the horror themes of 2018's Haunt in his new collection of poems, Tempest. He explores fear, hope, and self-identity through striking fictional vignettes and surreal personal accounts.

I remember the weather, what I was wearing, and what I was doing when I received the phone call from the VA. It felt l... more
