Maps to Arkham

Kemp, Sam (2023) Maps to Arkham. Nat1LLC.

Abstract

Blurb from Publisher: Prepare to embark on an extraordinary voyage through the enigmatic realm of H.P. Lovecraft’s Arkham in this innovative chapbook. Crafted through a unique blend of artistic expression and technology, this daring work introduces readers to a captivating fusion of maps—concrete poems created by Lovecraft’s texts—and fragments of original poetry. This isn’t your typical homage to Lovecraft; it’s a profound investigation into the mysteries surrounding his most infamous fictional city. While it offers insights into the city’s mythos, it also fearlessly challenges and satirizes the legacy of the renowned writer. Rather than celebrating Lovecraft, this exceptional sequence of poems delves into his idiosyncrasies, unconventional love life, and career failures, shedding new light on his persona and the world he created. Maps to Arkham is a must-read for anyone intrigued by Lovecraftian lore and those who crave a fresh perspective on the enigmatic author himself.
