SuiPsalms – Collected Suicide Poetry

SuiPsalms is the follow-up to Lawson’s first, acclaimed poetry collection, The Troublesome Amputee. Exploring the subject of suicide from all angles, this collection challenges preconceived notions and both poetry and suicide. Drawing on influences from Sylvia Plath to Ian Curtis this book is never quite what you expect.

What They’re Saying About SuiPsalms

“Packed with a variety of texts that stretch the definition of poetry to the breaking point, SuiPsalms is honest from the beginning…In a standardized world, Lawson’s work is the equivalent of a juggling octopus jumping out of your morning coffee… While there is enough death and darkness to argue this is horror poetry, the book’s diversity makes classification impossible.”
—Black Heart Magazine

Praise for Lawson’s Poetry

“Lawson is genuinely one of the best horror poets writing today.”
—The Swallow’s Tail

“Mr. Lawson makes a good case for himself as a poet. He comes on like Catholicism, Palahniuk, and Lovecraft on bad acid. Sometimes rambling away on a titular theme, but occasionally spouting a bit of profundity. To say he’s focused on the macabre, the moribund, and the painful is understating where Lawson’s coming from….”
—Skullring.org

“Lawson proves he’s a poet to reckon with…not only [is he] a triple threat (editor, poet, writer of fiction)…he’s among the leading pioneers of the Bizarro genre.”
—Midwest Book Review

“Lawson’s poetry inspires, sings, dissects, and screams, reflecting his unique insight to a world willing to indulge in self-amputation: harming itself in unexplained ways. Whimsical, strange, and unflinchingly true, Lawson’s work is always entertaining. Like coming home to unanswered screams, Lawson’s poems weave words into unforgettable songs of sweet darkness.”
—Linda Addison, Bram Stoker Award winning author of Consumed, Reduced to Beautiful Grey Ashes
