Black Hamlet’s twenty-sixth book, and his twenty-fifth book of poetry, is part homage and part dissection of the depths to which humanity is able to sink. In what may have been his last book, Black Hamlet weaves metaphors into a tapestry at once recognizable and repugnant. Are you wise enough to tell the difference?

The premise for Octaves is at once simple, and complex – typical for me!
I have highlighted 8 different forms and produced 8 poems for each form, each form covering a self-imposed theme or idea.
For example, PART TWO, featuring Petrarchan Sonnets, has “eight-legged entities” as its theme. These cover arachnids, Gods, and whatever else took my...
