Seeing Red

Nominated for the Manuela Dias Book Design of the Year Award (Manitoba Writing and Publishing Awards).”Dennis Cooley’s deft-and-epic re-imagining of the Dracula ‘film noir’ reveals a Romantic-rhapsodic Count, a man as frenzied as Byron and as philosophical/ funny as Borges. In this chic, violent, sexy narrative, Cooley seizes poetry by the throat, hypnotizing its fans/ fanatics with his audacious, dazzling, and dastardly wordplay–part e.e. cummings, part Dennis Lee, and all excellent. seeing red is bloody brilliant.”–George Elliot Clarke, author of Execution Poems
