Black Thoughts Burning is the debut collection of poetry by author Alexander Lloyd King. As the title suggests, this book is caught somewhere between light and dark, often treading the conflicting nature of the human condition; the imagery of fire that results from that inner turmoil runs rampant throughout its pages. Much of the book will "sing" to you, echoing common themes, and while the poems can stand on their own, they have been bound together to create an atmospheric and thought-provoking experience for the reader. Black Thoughts Burning is a must have for fans of Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Baudelaire, and for anyone who loves dark yet beautiful writing.
