Ashley Dioses' latest collection is the splayed corpse of a young poet. Lovers of dark poetry, those fascinated with the whole spectrum of all of death's colors, will find exquisite work in these pages.” —S. L. Edwards, author of In the Devil's Cradle</p><p>"Darkest Days and Haunted Ways is sensuous and sensual, grim and madly gay. It evokes primal, hungry rites, and recalls the half-forgotten myths of an ancient feminine who is to be both feared and desired. These poems are the mutterings of a witch-woman deep in her cave, wrapped in bones and roots as she listens to the whisperings of worms. Discomfiting, disturbing, galvanizing, and startling." —Rebecca Buchanan, author of Not a Princess, But (Yes) There Was a Pea and Other Poems to Foment Revolution</p><p>"Refracted by the splintered looking-glass of adulthood, Ashley Dioses' Darkest Days and Haunted Ways whispers in the language of teen angst: lachrymose, lyrical, and evocative." —Jessica McHugh, 2x Bram Stoker Award® Nominated author of The Quiet Ways I Destroy You</p><p>"In Darkest Days and Haunted Ways, Ashley Dioses exposes the flayed heart of her teenage years, and, in so doing, she reveals some of the origins of the sublime nightshade with which her poetry is filled." —D.

I sent this submission in a while ago and never heard back. I saw the ToC and was sad that I was going to miss my very first SR. I queried about it and it turns out it was accidentally overlooked. So I made it in just in time. I'd also like to point out that this issue contains a lovely review of my second poetry collection, The Withering.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv_8adBy6reE8G1uU38jfnl3U1FHG7HlRINbUb3w8u1Mb3ygsUwwMpFcRFSOTfqIrLASTAHt5p5_relSq-WCcOcYVIG-6Suzgxbk1kPIu3enphf1haofhjU1nwByzZZgSrGlgjBZ9QNz07/s2048/SR+15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv_8adBy6reE8G1uU38jfnl3U1FHG7HlRINbUb3w8u1Mb3ygsUwwMpFcRFSOTfqIrLASTAHt5p5_relSq-WCcOcYVIG-6Suzgxbk1kPIu3enphf1haofhjU1nwByzZZgSrGlgjBZ9QNz07/s320/SR+15.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia4reKbHZYowRxNy9rS1geMK6104RFrZxrUogJaN4GME2cpsFT6skmZAUn9r_wt3ZSrbAunEZqXXAIeK-08LmtEfmBB3WgaX7_vxHNuJ6Db2Q-hR-UYhnh8OXl-vrcT2RLLuQk6Tg6gHdF/s2048/SR+15%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia4reKbHZYowRxNy9rS1geMK6104RFrZxrUogJaN4GME2cpsFT6skmZAUn9r_wt3ZSrbAunEZqXXAIeK-08LmtEfmBB3WgaX7_vxHNuJ6Db2Q-hR-UYhnh8OXl-vrcT2RLLuQk6Tg6gHdF/s320/SR+15%25281%2529.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0grP-3IZyhuUfPVfeL_n8LMWcMGodtavYhcHIeL_QWE3vJJnyQ9N9YidGedv5Jqs16OP4s7xIbR4VvUFKJVxVaFJmKGeg9aSDAksoVJDjw9lHyOv682RdXgy0k89sHI7aOGYWaV1REwnt/s2048/Moonlit+Waters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0grP-3IZyhuUfPVfeL_n8LMWcMGodtavYhcHIeL_QWE3vJJnyQ9N9YidGedv5Jqs16OP4s7xIbR4VvUFKJVxVaFJmKGeg9aSDAksoVJDjw9lHyOv682RdXgy0k89sHI7aOGYWaV1REwnt/s320/Moonlit+Waters.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">TABLE OF CONTENTS</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Poems</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Mother Dearest / Ngo Binh Anh Khoa</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Epiphany / M.

'Adaptive Vision' is the temporary title and strategy that has been added to this temporarily remote exhibition in response to the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic.
