Garth Von Buchholz

Dark Eye Glances is an eJournal of dark, lyric poetry in traditional and experimental forms. We publish poets who have an implicit appreciation for traditional rhyming and metrical poems, yet are willing to explore new forms and techniques. Typically we will favor rhythmic poetry with dark, dramatic, metaphysical and psychological themes.

Our first issue will appear online in June 2010. We also plan to issue a print anthology of the best of 2010. Please follow our Submission Guidelines. Readers are welcome to submit recommendations for specific poets and poetry. We want to know what our readers like so we can give them more of it.

Our poem, F L A T L A N D, was published in the Summer 2010 issue of Island Writer magazine.

F l a t l a n d
by Garth Von Buchholz

To resist the op(press)ion
of the two (dement)sional flatland world of glossy magazines,
I have (ob)seen women

Mutilate their forearms with deep(er) strokes of a razor
So that they may prove with their b(lo)ody
To themselves and their (conf)users
That their image (has depth)

Has depth (their image 
Has depth).

We have been signed on as a regular book reviewer for the New York Journal of Books. 

Our first review was published in February this year, and we will be publishing about
2-3 reviews a month from now on.   

To have a reviewer assigned to your book, please email editor Ted Sturtz. 

Our new story, Make Mad the Roaring Winds (the title is from a poem by William Blake), is almost finished, and will probably be the longest short story we’ve ever written.  

It’s a dark science fiction tale about a man’s lonely journey from Earth to Jupiter in a small ship, a maddening voyage where he has spent nearly three years in the solitude of space.  

We will be submitting it to Clarkesworld, so we will keep you posted.
