Book excerpt: Stephen Dobyns is a latter-day American surrealist, a spinner of dark, extravagant fables of a world we live or may live in. His poems are peopled with devils and angels, ghostly chickens, distorted mythological figures, God, and the risen dead 'pretending they're still alive'. The world of Cemetery Nights is haunted by regret, driven by desire and need, illuminated by daring make-believe. In these often frightening and sometimes strangely funny poems, Dobyns creates a remarkable bridge between pure entertainment and deep psychological insight.
