Fade Out, Smile by Casey Renee Kiser, a poetry book review by Stella Coulson

I must say that I love this collection of intriguing poetry. Kiser's blunt honesty and beautiful darkness within the poetic language is a treat for one's mind. If your imagination tends to journey into the dark shadows that play upon the world, then this is the read for you. The work is a haunting loveliness, macabre thoughts and witty dark humor. We are invited into a wonderfully black imagination and its one he'll of a journey. My favorites are - 'Lay me Down', a striking confession that many may relate to. Kiser brings this stark moment to life. I also adore 'You Can Pretend', a compelling and darkly fascinating horror. Full of dark wit and intensity. 'So, Goodnight', is remarkable and tells of a person who hides behind a beautiful mask.
'Fade Out, Smile' is a darkly delicious read. Speaks to me immensely. Fade Out, smile by Casey Renee Kiser
