The Undertaker’s Melancholy by Sydney Leigh is a poem about madness. Not run-of-the mill schizophrenia, but a character trapped in a demented hell of a mind. The ebbs and flows in the prose are what made it most disturbing. Waves of calm and beautiful imagery rapidly turn, transforming into monstrous vignettes. The author’s mixed use of long and short words are perfectly ordered to provide the semblance of peace, which then strike you down and yank you back to insanity... Many thanks to Tracy L Carbone for these kind words about my work, as well as her glowing review of Darkness Ad Infinitum on her website (tracylcarbone) and Amazon. And my eternal gratitude goes to Adam Domville for the remarkably disturbing illustration he provided for my poem...it will never cease to amaze me how perfectly he matched the surreal chaos and madness of this piece.
