What Charles Jensen has to say about my forthcoming poetry book, Night Chant (Lethe Press, 2011):


The terse, dark pieces in Andrew Demcak's fourth collection of poems occur under the cover of night.  Into a richly macabre cityscape, the voices in these poems expose their secrets, from the desire of unbearable addictions to the shocking violence of hate crimes.  These spare poems, with their surprising images, are bold in their brevity. They converge into the urgent whispered voices we hear following us in the dark—our own voices and the voices of those like us—into night chants.

ANDREW DEMCAK NEW & SELECTED POEMS: BLOOD'S TONGUE

Didi Menendez of MiPOesias and Poets and Artists just painted this new portrait of me wearing Peter's cool sunglasses.  Thanks, Didi!  I am finishing up my next book, Blood's Tongue: New and Selected Poems.  It will be the first chance to read work from my long out-of-print, very first book, The Psalms , Big 23 Press, 1991, along with highlights from my other three published poetry books, Catching Tigers in Red Weather, Zero Summer, A Single Hurt Color, along with poems from my forthcoming book, Night Chant (Lethe Press, 2012), and new uncollected work, too.

Now I can get back to writing my new novel:   I Found You, But I Don't Know Where You Are

NICE REVIEW OF ANDREW DEMCAK'S A SINGLE HURT COLOR BY *A NICE PERSON

A Single Hurt Color by Andrew Demcak

One of my regular librarians—the nicest one, the one most prone to cracking a small joke or letting me in on some small detail about library behind-the-scenes drama—turns out to be a poet. While skimming the New Release shelf I picked up a book of poetry, and there was his picture on the back. Of the two collections of his I checked out, this one is my favorite. I appreciated the local notes (there are owls in the tree in my yard too), the imagery, and the ways he played with sound in some poems. It feels good to genuinely like things by nice people. A few lines:

"Counting the restless hours,
coyote thickened." from California Night #3

"Knives lining a drawer: the first jury in its wooden box." from Juice

"His hull more float than groan." from Subtidal Zone (say it out loud—it will make your tongue feel good)
