Where I End And You Begin

By a.x. salvo

THIS IS HOW YOU DESTROY ANGELS.

Where I End And You Begin is the new collection of dark art and poetry by A.X. Salvo inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, Sylvia Plath, Neil Gaiman and the horror manga of Junji Ito.

In this fourth collection of poems, Salvo takes you deeper into the shadows and delivers another brutally emotional experience with even more of what readers loved from his popular book The Teeth Of The World Are Sharp with more than 150 pages of new poems and hauntingly beautiful black and white drawings that blend dark fantasy, myth, and horror. Where I End And You Begin is an expression of suffering created during total isolation that explores themes of trauma, abuse, death, regret, grief, and loss.

A.X. Salvo's writings and art have appeared in USA Today, MISC, Studio Visit Magazine, Bete Noir, The Adroit Journal, and The Anthologist. Salvo is also the recipient of a Vermont Studio Center grant for Poetry.

Let us drink to the death of the man I was and the life of the man I’ve chosen to become.

The problem was you had to keep choosing between one evil or another, and no matter what you chose, they sliced a little bit more off you, until there was nothing left.
