Three of Garth’s poems, Terracotta Oil Lamp, Statue of Eros and Sarcophagus, will be published in Every Day Poets magazine, a Web 2.0 poetry journal online and in print  The publication dates are TBA. We will provide links here when available.

The three poems were original conceived as one poem in three parts, but Garth has allowed them to be published as separate poems at the request of the editor.

Garth is pleased to announce that two of his poems, Industry in Morning (Dedicated to Wiliam Blake) and Mad Shadows, will be published in the debut issue of Scarlet Literary Magazine, a new print magazine that will be appearing in July 2010. 

Garth’s 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).

Garth’s new short 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 he has 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 the protagonist has spent nearly three years in the solitude of space.  

We will announce when it is published.

Two new books by Garth have been published in July—a two-act play called Land of Milk and Honey, and a book of “performance poetry” called The Song of Songs. Performance poetry, like performance art, is simply poetry that is intended to be performed as a dramatic reading or as a stage play, but can also be read as a literary work.

Land of Milk and Honey is about a tough street kid named Moses who is haunted by “spirits.” When an outreach worker explains why he was born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Moses becomes alarmed about the fate of his pregnant mother’s unborn child. Land of Milk and Honey has been workshopped by a professional director and cast but has never been produced.

Buy Land of Milk and Honey online.

 

   

The Song of Songs is a performance poem based on Solomon’s Shir ha-Shirim. The universal theme of love being stronger than death is played out in this poignant verse.
