Introducing...this week’s featured poet and supporter of the arts, editor of Fevers of the Mind...David O’Nan. He is the author of several books of poetry, and his work can be found in a wide variety of lit mags and journals (despite an understandable distaste for the submissions process, which he takes frequent breaks from!). Find David's work in: IceFloe Press, Dark Marrow, Truly U, 3 Moon Magazine, Elephants Never, Royal Rose Magazine, Spillwords, Anti-Heroin Chic, Cajun Mutt Press, Punk Noir Magazine, Voices From the Fire, and others. Please enjoy two of the beautiful poems from his recent five-star collection, Cursed Houses (Fevers of the Mind Press). Thank you, David!
