King In Yellow Anthology
Just so it is known, I'm starting an anthology of "King In Yellow" based poems which will be printed and designed much in the same style as Beardsley's publications, only with KIY imagery. I've already gotBruce Boston on board for it. Anyone who wants to contribute a poem:

1) All poems should be written in an 18th century Decadent style. Read Dowson, James Thomson, etc if you haven't already. And know all about the King In Yellow Mythos.

2) Make it the most evil poem you've ever written!

Re: King In Yellow Anthology
Not yet, no. I'm aiming for Dark Regions Press, which I don't think should be a problem. Or Ravenna Press with my publisher Kathryn Rantala. If anyone has any submissions, send them to

Re: King In Yellow Anthology
I've been pretty much sleepless since this was announced, working on my submission, which I will include below. I think I've even managed to outdo Dowson in portraying a fin de siècle atmosphere of sickly and ill-defined abstract terror and decayed romanticism. teguififthzeal, please PM me and I will send you my PayPal details.

"They Call Me King in Yellow"

I'm just mad about Cassilda
Cassilda's mad about me
I'm-a just mad about Cassilda
She's just mad about me

They call me King in Yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me King in Yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me King in Yellow

I'm just mad about the Yellow Sign
The Yellow Sign's mad about me
I'm-a just mad about the Yellow Sign
The Yellow Sign's just mad about me

They call me King in Yellow
They call me King in Yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me King in Yellow

Born-a high in Carcosa to fly
Remaining sanity nil
The black stars will never die 
Over the Lake of Hali, still

They call me King in Yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me King in Yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me King in Yellow

So King in Yellow

The Pallid Mask
Is gonna be a sudden craze
The Pallid Mask
Is bound to be the very next phase

They call me King in Yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me King in Yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me King in Yellow

Yes, Camilla, yeah
I'm just-a mad about her
I'm-a just-a mad about-a Camilla
She's just mad about me

They call me King in Yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me King in Yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me King in Yellow

Oh, so yellow
Oh, King in Yellow

Killing it.

This poetry anthology is off to a great start.

And now I'll have Donovan stuck in my head the rest of day.

Re: King In Yellow Anthology
Ode To the Lettuce Man
Reaching with five shaking condors
of madness, your brown knuckles sweating
out swollen dark plateaus for an overseas
addiction, maybe, offering steamed bills
green hued fire as penance? 
Lettuce, always lettuce, hiding
like an orphan borne in its scale
from wet blue sparks,
supermarket disinfectant.
Behind your pupils beady halls of mirrors
your cart tapping out a dead language
for a noon rain, your squint
fierce and holy, a wreath of liquid hornets
buzzing away toothless vipers in aisle 9...

Re: King In Yellow Anthology
I've received three true blue decadent poems so far. Today I got a [I]great one.
