Follow This Blood to Find a Dead Thing: Poems and Tales

Follow This Blood to Find a Dead Thing is a direct follow-up to Charles K. Carter's sophomore full-length collection of poems If the World Were a Quilt. The new collection features verse, senryū, vignettes, and Carter's first published pieces of flash fiction. The universe only gives so many warning signs before it takes action. Carter intersperses bright, spellbinding images of natural beauty into poems and tales that explore various modes of human destruction from the heedless demolition of our planet to the systemic roots of trauma, isolation, and greed.
