In the Dark, Soft Earth by Frank Watson
3.0

It's rare for me to read a poetry book, and love every poem.

Each poem had such beautiful and rich imagery, I was shocked at how brilliant Frank Watson's writing style is. I also love that the author incorporated paintings with some of the poems. It brought each poem to life. I especially enjoyed the occult themes, it gave this boook a gothic feel which I really appreciated. This poetry collection is dark and sensual and completely beautiful, and I highly recommend if you're a fan of poetry.
