Dark Poetry Breeds Fear and Haunts Your Soul

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 5, 2005 -- Veteran poet Kurt Newton releases a new collection of poetry this month entitled, Life Among the Dream Merchants and Other Phantasies. 31 poetic tales of terror await all who dare read this dark collection, everything raging from haunted faces in the windows to subconscious revelations discovered in dreams to apparitions in mirrors and beyond.

Life Among the Dream Merchants and Other Phantasies succeeds where many poetry collections fail: the poems contained within the pages mean something and aren�t just a string of words shoved together just because they sounded neat.

�It is evident when you read the book that Mr. Newton applied not only his intellect to the collection but also his heart,� says Newton�s publisher A.P. Fuchs of Coscom Entertainment. �The thing with poetry is that it�s so subjective to opinion but there are poems out there�take a handful by the every-popular Robert Frost, for example�that resonate with us for one simple reason: there�s a point to them. They hit us deep down and hard and we come away thinking about them minutes and hours after having read them. Some we even recall years later. Kurt really hit the nail on the head with this collection.�

Artist Jeffrey Thomas supplied the interior art and cover to this compilation of verse, the images complimenting Newton�s words, bringing his visions to life.
