The Coven's Hornbook & Other Poems

Frank Coffman has compiled a substantial collection of 265 poems of verse in his book. The poems cover the gamut of the genres of speculative poetry of the high imagination: Horror, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Adventure, and even Detection. Other sections of the book explore the range of subjects in the Weird, Horrific, and Supernatural. The Coven's Hornbook also contains a section of ekphrastic poems — tributes to works in other art forms; a group of homages to admired fellow poets; and a section of "metapoetry" with poems on the subject of poetry itself and some thoughts on the writing of verse.
