The first poem of Petroglyphs appeared unbidden in a dream. Like Odin's raven, the poem and its images heralded the coming of a simpler style that dredges up primordial images and myths to create a sacred space where change occurs, language renews itself, and the dead live again.
Keith Harvey is the author of five novels, "Vogel Flies South," "Vogel and the White Bull," "Cave Gossip," "Okeanus," and "Grimoire of Stone;" and two books of poetry, "Petroglyphs," and "Sea-Snails on a Black Chow’s Tongue or, a Castaway’s Poems in a Bottle." In 2009, his fantasy novel, "Okeanus," was a semi-finalist in the Amazon/Penguin Breakthrough novel contest. In 2014, Kirkus named "Grimoire of Stone," one of the best independent novels of the year. He is currently writing short stories set in an alternate history, code-named: La Ciudad, and working on the sequel of "Grimoire of Stone," entitled "Grimoire of Shadow."
