Kurt Newton

In Moonlight Apocrypha, Kurt Newton guides us through a surreal and haunting landscape shaped by plague, isolation, and the slow, unraveling of civilization. These poems chronicle a world slipping into myth, where memory and madness blur. This collection captures the intimate absurdities and communal grief of an era defined by a virus and humanity's response to crisis, offering grim beauty, bitter humor, and unexpected tenderness for the summer we figuratively died. Delve into these verses to commiserate with your past self and glimpse the future you.

The Body Snatchers & Other Death Rituals is a poetic travelogue on the varied nature of end-of-life rituals and associated lore found throughout the world. In this collection, you'll find poems, prose pieces, ballads and folk songs, ranging from humorous to poignant, on the cultural common ground of death.

O little town of Deathlehem, Within you death doth lie Beneath thy deep and rutted streets Tormented souls do cry. Yet in your dark streets shineth A cold and ghostly light. The fears and tears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. Well, here we are again, folks - Deathlehem ... ... where Krampus isn't the only creature to fear when the holiday draws near... ... where holiday treats aren't safe to eat ... ... where not even the apocalypse will keep people from celebrating the holiday ... ... where even Chanukah isn't safe to celebrate ... Twenty-five more tales of holiday horror to benefit The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation
