The Spider War

​

“In this grim adult fable, an enslaved beetle endures unrelenting war in the insect world. …. Readers won’t easily forget the story’s aptly unsettling denouement. Colorful, profound characters headline a bleak but gripping story.” –Kirkus Reviews

Of the Scaffold
​
My second book of poems includes evocations of the Classical World, early Christianity, primal nature, and political violence.
​
It is 1862. Young Count Adam Grabowksi journeys to his native Poland for the first time, to fight in the insurrection against the Russian Empire. Entrusted with a mission by the secret government's leader Stefan Bobrowski, he soon finds himself entangled between the "Red" and "White" factions of the Polish resistance. One of five finalists for the Kirkus Review Literary Award, short-listed for the Pirate's Alley Faulkner Prize, and based on a true story, The Krakow Messenger is a searing novel of war, espionage, and the Code of Honor.
