In revelatory verse in his haunting new collection, David Anthony Sam writes of a world steeped in mortality. The poems travel unflinchingly forth, from early perplexities over death to a stoic peace before the inscrutable. "I do not surrender / the solitary thought / to fantasies that believe themselves...." Yet, the poet's deep empathy with what is both beautiful and in the process of dying saves us from devastating sadness. -Sofia M. Starnes, Virginia Poet Laureate, Emerita and author of The Consequence of Moonlight In Geographies of the Dead, David Anthony Sam offers a poignant and elegant depiction of the topography shaping our interrelationships with the dead. Geographies is a brilliant collection of elegies to loved ones lost and meditations on how our interrelationships with the ghosts that haunt us shape both who we are and who we become as we draw nearer to death. The poems are powerfully written, eloquently crafted, and well worth thoughtful visitation. -Steve Bucher, PhD, author of We Stay a Brief Telling Within Geographies, David Anthony Sam invokes all seasons-as well as physics, medicine, memory, and nature herself-to share that which is for many the most private of emotions: grief. His words, both honeyed reminisce "of the time when all words / were untasted wine" and hard truth ("all biographies / end with the same page") offer anecdotes and perspectives to lay at the altar of those who have gone before, acknowledging his intimacy with this shadowed landscape, surefootedly guiding us, Virgil-esque, from the sweet to the bitter and back again. -Joanna Lee, author of Dissections and Poet Laureate, Richmond, Virginia In Geographies of the Dead, David Anthony Sam shares elegies and meditations on death, loss, and grief from multiple perspectives of time and space. Sam instills in readers a yearning to hear more, see more, feel more from those we loved and lost, providing the geography for our own explorations, exposing dark and light in our journeys. -Cathy Hailey, author of I'd Rather Be a Hyacinth and Northern Region VP of The Poetry Society of Virginia

When school teacher Geneva Willoughby's body is found at the foot of Table Rock Mountain in the part of South Carolina known as the Dark Corner, the official verdict is accidental death. Her friend and fellow teacher, Sister Marie Claire, is convinced Geneva's death was no accident and attempts to enlist local author Evan Ander in looking deeper into the incident. He remains skeptical until Sister Marie suffers an eerily similar fall and hovers between life and death. Guilt-ridden, Ander plunges into an investigation that expands to involve a host of singular characters including Sister Marie's dangerously unpredictable outlaw brother, a nurse harboring a deadly secret, a precocious eight year old girl, a gun wielding, one legged 90 year old grandmother, a psychopath ex-con with his own agenda, a group of senior citizen irregulars known as the Monday Mob and Ghost and Trouble, two oversized Labrador Retrievers who more than live up to their names. But how can Evan find a murderer in a case where the usual motives - love, sex, money, revenge - don't apply? What would anyone have to gain by killing a Catholic nun and a parochial school teacher? The New South may have reached the cities and suburbs of South Carolina, but in the predatory beauty of the Dark Corner, where the echoes of the banjo music from Deliverance still reverberate, Evan Ander soon learns that nothing is as it seems.
