DYMPHNA WOODS
DYMPHNA WOODS
a poem by Nicholas Trandahl
In the last cold days of November,
right on the doorstep of winter,
I stride quickly into the high country
miles from the nearest dirt road,
as though I can simply flee
my sorrow, my stagnation,
and my army of fears.
In my thick green sweater
and a scarf I bought in El Paso,
my booted steps crunch
into the snow of the trail as I
follow elk prints higher and higher.

| Beautiful and grotesque surrealist poetry. Sludgy secrets between sea floor abominations. This is Berg’s best collection since “With Deer”. | |

“Edgar Allan Poe’s writings showed me perfectly that there can be such fragile beauty and purity located in darkness and sorrow.”

“I write fiction not for my readers and not for myself. I write fiction for the sake of those odd heroic characters that are contained therein. They are counting on me as much as I am counting on them.”

“I primarily use poetry as a purge, a self-medication device when I’m in the depths of loneliness, anxiety or in the throes of depression. When I’m lost in the darkness of mental illness, I spill forth a deluge of words and prose that are oftentimes grim, dark and depressive. And when my poems are spilled forth into one of my poetry journals, I feel a weight has been indeed been lifted from me, and my mind can rest just a bit easier.”

“He liked to read with the silence and the golden color of the whiskey as his companions. He liked food, people, talk, but reading was an inexhaustible pleasure. What the joys of music were to others, words on a page were to him.”
