This is the first volume to present a generous sampling of his verse, and it establishes him as a leading voice in the thriving genre of weird poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat distinguishes Fantina's poetry is not only an effortless mastery of many different verse forms (the sonnet, the quatrain, the ballad) but its imaginative range and its power to evoke fantasy, terror, and wonder with telling word-choice and evocative imagery. The influence of H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E. Howard, and other classic weird poets is strong, but Fantina retains his own unique voice in poems that run the gamut from supernatural horror to pure fantasy to fusions of weirdness and romance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf lupine women sue me through the glade\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt dusk when all the trees will bend and look, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'd be awake in dreams by this cool brook\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd dally with a nymph deep in the shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer long and golden hair I would unbraid;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer belt of crimson leather I'd unhook, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd kiss her throat and shoulder at the crook--\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet of those werewolf women I'm afraid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--From \"Lycanthropy at Dusk\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMichael Fantina's poetry has appeared in \u003cem\u003eNyctalops, Dark Horizons, Midnight Echo, Spectral Realms, \u003c\/em\u003e and many other magazines and anthologies.
