Familial Reflections Anthology Quote: Poetry by Maxwell Ian Gold

 

“Still, metallic fingers surfaced from beyond my peripheries as if crooked serpents breaching calm waters where nothing was the same ever again.” — Maxwell Ian Gold

Familial Reflections Anthology Quote: Story by Justin Zimmerman

 

“I’m surrounded by darkness and I’m lying on my back on something hard and unforgiving. The air around me is stifling and fetid and, for a moment, I’m sure I’ve been buried alive…” — Justin Zimmerman

Familial Reflections Anthology Quote: Story by Mercedes Yardley

 

“Joni was beautiful and solemn and sang like an angel. Or, more accurately, she sang for the angels. She’d sit up in her bed at night, her voice lilting prettily, rising and falling, while a winged concourse gathered around her.” — Mercedes Yardley

Familial Reflections Anthology Quote: Story by Richard Chizmar

“I killed my father on a Friday night in June. Two-and-a-half months later, they found us in a backwoods hotel in an Oregon lumber town.” — Richard Chizmar 

Familial Reflections Anthology Quote: Poetry by Wrath James White

 

“I had to feed it

We had to feed it

or it would eat me

from the marrow

to the bone

to the muscles and sinew

through my skin 

like maggots on carrion

and feed itself

on those nearest to me” — Wrath James White

Familial Reflections Anthology Quote: Story by Stephen King

 

“The ladder had always held us before, we thought it would hold us again, which is a philosophy that get men and nations in trouble time after time.” — Stephen King

Familial Reflections Quote: Poetry by Erin Sweet Al-Mehairi

“You always scold me about my bottom lip, 

that it will bring the blackbirds, and rather, 

I think they come from your angry stench,

Cackling to each other about your arrogance.” — Erin Sweet Al-Mehairi

Familial Reflections Anthology Quote: Story by Michael Bailey

 

“I guess it’s easier to communicate after you’re dead. Less confrontation. Nothing physical to get in the way. Just dialogue.” —Michael Bailey

Familial Reflections Quote: Poetry by Maria Alexander

“Bleed from your forehead

bleed from your knees

arms thrown forward fingers splayed

the asphalt stigmata

blood hot, mingled with brine

weep blood between your thighs

bleed beneath your skin…” — Maria Alexander

Familial Reflections Quote: Introduction by John Palisano

 

“In MJ Sydney’s expertly curated “Familial Reflections” we cover a wide spectrum, from the poetic lucidity of Maria Alexander, Max Ian Gold, Erin Sweet Al-Mehairi, and Wrath James White, to the ruminant works of Michael Bailey, Richard Chizmar, and Justin Zimmerman, all the way to the visceral punch and heartbreak of  Stephen King, Mercedes Yardley and Richard Thomas.” — John Palisano
