      Introduction - Review:

      Jean Jones on Scott Urban

      In poems like “Lamia,” “By Way of Reply,” and most specifically, “The Queen of Air and Darkness,” Scott Urban shows how a mature writer can respond to the vampire myth which by its sheer repetition through pop culture has become a cliche in poetry and writing much less movies and T.V. show. It is almost impossible to go into this venue and not walk through trite expressions and empty cliches. What is there new to say about vampires? The connection between sex and death, sex and fear, fear and desire, etc. etc.? Well, thankfully, Scott Urban walks into the Count’s castle, so to speak, most especially in “By Way of Reply,” where one can almost literally hear “Bela Lugosi is Dead” by Bauhaus, and the quite undead Count writes a letter back to one of his latest victims, the person’s blood drippling off his face, as he recounts the sorrows of his life; and in “Lamia,” the poor narrator, like an Edgar Allan Poe character, both fears and desires after what will happen to him; and my personal favorite, “The Queen of Air and Darkness,” like the Fleetwood Mac song, “Rhiannon,” deals with something ancient, and evil, and terrifying, and makes it come alive to a jaded 21st century audience.

      His most recent poetry collections are The Birds of Djakarta [St. Andrews Press] and Tornado [Shakin’ Outta My Heart Press]).
