| STORY DESCRIPTION "With 26 poems teased from skin and tissue and veiny threads, Brooke MacKenzie's The Scary Abecedary resounds with brutality, fragility, and fear. A startling debut and a lesson for our times." -Lee Murray, five-time Bram Stoker Award?-winner and author of Tortured Willows
Abecedary [ ey-bee-see-duh-ree ] : The alphabet, written out in a teaching book, or carved on a wall; a primer
There are so many frightening things
And in imposing an alphabetic structure onto them,
I am attempting to control and contain them
It is a futile effort to make everything seem less scary
Each letter of the alphabet has been assigned a fright
Sometimes the poems are scary, sometimes they're gruesome, sometimes subversive, ?
Sometimes deeply personal
Because the definition of "scary" shifts and changes depending upon
The layers of feelings and experiences and moods
That cover our eyes like a film at any given moment
Our lenses shift and our pupils dilate and our minds go along for the ride
But there are so many frightening things
And they seem to multiply with each passing day?.
Will we ever be safe again? ?
Were we ever really safe at all?
