THE MUSE'S TWISTED KISS
An Introduction to "Rumors of Vampires"

Poetry is a language unto itself. At best, I am a dabbler and a babbler at the edge of the pond, mainly interested in capturing a moment the same way a photographer might capture a fleeting image otherwise lost to the ages.

I'm okay with that - this sense that we are incredible yet insignificant beings moving through some inexplicable milieu of experience and emotion, longing and loss, love and grief. And yet, at the same time I'm not okay with it at all - for it is human nature to crave that which remains out of reach.

It is human nature to chase the muse that whispers midnight promises of eternity, but delivers cemeteries and funeral processions when the sun rises on another mundane day. It is human nature to want to live forever, even (and perhaps especially) if that promise were to be delivered in the form of an erotic if twisted kiss of eternal damnation and eternal salvation all wrapped up together in a vampire's embrace.

The vampire has been a mysterious and recurring icon in our human imaginings for as far back as anyone can determine. Some say it's only a myth. Others insist all myths have some basis in reality. A rare few of us choose to believe in vampires and faeries and alien visitors above and beyond any dull human-spawned deity. And such is the language of poetry - a way to explore our darkest fantasies and most forbidden desires without automatically being consigned to the psychiatrist's lumpy couch.

Some would say I suffer from depression. I would argue that I suffer from clarity, but also from the dark but beneficial curse of allowing myself to believe there is more to this world than we have been programmed to believe. It's not just what I want to believe. It's what I have to believe, or run the high risk of becoming just one more cog in the grinding machine that digests our imagination and craps it all out as rhetoric, pabulum and dogma. On the day I become that, I will shut down the computer and throw away my writing quill forever.

My muse sends notes from time to time, telling me he's off in India or Australia or on the red sands of Mars, always harvesting words and moments like grapes plucked to create the best wine. I am trying to believe him, but as all writers know, muses are fickle fuckers who have their own agendas.

For now, I hope you will enjoy Rumors of Vampires, and that it will bring you some measure of entertainment, a chill or two, or - if I've done my job - a stray thought to chase through the candlelit cathedral at the edge of Vampyreland.

L'autore

Della Van Hise is a native of Florida, transplanted to California at the age of 21, who has subsequently sunk her roots into the high desert near Joshua Tree National Park. She has not personally seen any aliens since around 1992, but there is rumored to be a secret UFO base underneath her house. Della's writing started around age 11 on an old Smith Corona typewriter. No, not an electric one. A real antique, made of metal and heavier than a wet coffin. Her first professional novel was best-selling KILLING TIME - the controversial Star Trek novel which was recalled and re-edited in 1984 (making the first edition a rare collector's item) - and which was the foundational plot for the STAR TREK "Reboot" movie. Della has written extensively in the non-fiction genre, with titles such as QUANTUM SHAMAN: DIARY OF A NAGUAL WOMAN and SCRAWLS ON THE WALLS OF THE SOUL. "Quantum Shaman" focuses heavily on the author's metaphysical explorations and experiences, while "Scrawls" is a continuation of those journeys many years later. Most recently, Della has released a third book and fourth in the Quantum Shaman series - "Questions Along the Way: Conversations With a Quantum Shaman" and "Into the Infinite". If you enjoyed the works of Carlos Castaneda or Don Miguel Ruiz, you'll enjoy the non-fiction works of Della Van Hise. In addition, Della has written professionally for Tomorrow Magazine and other prominent science fiction publications. Her most recent fiction works include Sons of Neverland (an award-winning vampire novel); No Forwarding Address (a science fiction quest of the heart's yearning); and Coyote (a sensuous novel combining the mystical aspects of martial arts, coming of age, and personal sacrifice.) Della shares her life with her significant other, Wendy Rathbone, and a variety of cats, dogs and desert wildlife. --Questo testo si riferisce alla paperback edizione.

Incredible poetry!

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 22 gennaio 2018

Acquisto verificato

I love her poetry. After reading The effect of moonlight on tombstones, i bought this the second it was available. And, as i expected, was every bit as great as the first book. No one paints word pictures, emotion pictures, like Della. I have both kindle, and paper copies of her books of poetry. Do yourself a favour, and read this book
