Poems by Frank William Finney

 Terror House Press is an independent publishing house focused on nurturing and promoting the best up-and-coming writers of our generation. Founded on May 14, 2018 in Budapest, Hungary by author and journalist Matt Forney, Terror House’s mission is to publish outsider literary fiction, literary nonfiction, and cultural criticism/analysis. We follow in the tradition established by trailblazers such as Fluland, Loompanics Unlimited, and Feral House, publishing works that are too edgy, unusual, or honest to be released elsewhere.

 Frank William Finney WHY I LIKE IT: Poetry Editor HEZEKIAH writes… Frank William Finney is a gem, an absolute caution, a rascal of the first order. He has such a light hand and delightful take. In 'Scrapbook,' "Wow! Look at you there, / with all that hair—" and "we’re smiling here / in this one. Frankly, I just feel not smiling for a camera unconscionable. How important can you propose to look up at the lake with streaks and stains of smudged noodle and Jello fruit salad splatters soiling the front of your shirt? So this strikes me as seriously ironic. 'The Witch of Winnipesaukee' "She cursed / the Ladies of the Lake / and turned their men / to swine." That's a given, not even a parlor trick in my neighborhood. And, apparently a Haruspex is a religious official who interprets omens by inspecting the entrails of sacrificial animals--when in Rome. Finney is simply appropriated, approbated, unabridged good fun . . .(Spacing is poet’s own.) Published in Fleas on the Dog (Canada)
