"THE POETRY COLLECTION TEMPEST ALTERNATES BETWEEN CALM AND PASSIONATE MOMENTS, WORKING TO CONVEY FAMILY AND IDENTITY ANXIETIES."

Ryan Meyer departs from the horror themes of 2018's Haunt in his new collection of poems, Tempest. He explores fear, hope, and self-identity through striking fictional vignettes and surreal personal accounts. Tempest is thus a marriage between the dichotomies of musical, rhythmic poetic dialogue, and the deeper, innate anxieties that accompany change.

Haunt explores life through a horror lens, aiming to unnerve as it traverses themes of friendship, love, loss, fear, and more. This book embraces genre writing while remaining true to poetry's literary roots.
