Description
“Hodge’s poetry uses the language of every day and classical to create beautiful new songs. Wielding this unique instrument, he takes us on a journey, through space & time, to show life surviving in the harsh realities of justice denied, love refused, ghosts haunted, and infinite cosmos honored. There is growth and beauty reflected in the ashes of human weakness, in poems that unwind like a prayer to show how awakened choice can make destiny self-evident. This is a book to be read more than once, so that unexpected layers can be revealed.“—Linda D. Addison, award-winning author, HWA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient and SFPA Grand Master
“Jamal Hodge invites us to dive deep into our emotions to experience what it truly means to live. His latest collection The Dark Between the Twilight is an introspective look into the dichotomy of existence and existing. His words are raw, powerful, and unforgettable. They stay with you on this darkly haunting journey into the human condition.”—Christina Sng, Bram Stoker Award winning author of A Collection of Nightmares
“If you haven’t read The Dark Between the Twilight, you’re missing out on a marvelous collection by Jamal Hodge, a new poet of many talents. The book consists of three sections, and each holds a wonderment all its own. Hodge is a genius at bringing you into his world with Poems of an intimately personal level, mixed in with a selection of speculative poems to entice the imagination.”—Marge Simon, Multiple Stoker Award recipient, and SFPA award winner
