Some men come home from war. Some carry it home in the chest — sealed in a jar with the lid rusted shut.
Beneath the Blackened Earth is a gothic poetry collection built in the architecture of Edgar Allan Poe — but the darkness in these pages was not borrowed from a library. It was earned. Written by an Army combat medic turned psychiatric nurse of more than twenty-five years, these poems move through battlefield and ward, through moral injury and the long witness of the dying, carrying Poe's cadence and a soldier's unflinching eye.
This is not costume gothic. There is real blood beneath this earth.
Across five movements the collection descends — from the war within the flesh to the quiet that waits beneath all of it — and asks the question every survivor knows by heart: what do we bury, and what refuses to stay buried?
Read it once for the dark. Read it again for the truth underneath.
