Dreaming in Red

About this book

A new collection of poems by Howie Good. All proceeds from the sale of this book benefit the Crisis Center ([www.crisiscenterbham.com][1]). The Crisis Center is a non-profit agency in Birmingham, Alabama offering suicide prevention, services to victims of sexual assault, day treatment for the indigent mentally ill, and other services. "Howie Good's poems slip under your skin like parasites, the ones that your high school science teacher said might be good for you. These are dark poems with a bright inner-core. Good, perhaps our best contemporary noir-minimalist poet, is back with a vengeance. Here, soothsayers, wild birds, the sun, and yes, even assassins with a sense of humor, offer antidotes to the darkness that surrounds us." —Scot Siegel "The dreams (poems) in *Dreaming in Red* are full of multifaceted memories and exquisite images, weaved brilliantly with poems of outrage about the Holocaust and all the continued nightmares of our time." —Doug Draime [1]: http://www.crisiscenterbham.com
