Madstones by Corey Mesler

“These poems– at times dark and troubling, at other times passionate and openhearted–are the work of a very talented poet. Madstones is a book worthy of a smart and attentive audience.”

—Ron Rash, author of Serena and Above the Waterfall

“Corey Mesler’s poems are like strange and wonderful little paintings, maybe what you would get if you crossed Hieronymous Bosch and Picasso.”

—Juanita Brunk, author of Brief Landing on the Earth’s Surface
