Stephen King's poetry

[strange]

Hi guys, I've read Stephen's got a new poem coming out in Playboy and a few questions came to mind, mainly, how many poems has Stephen King wrote? I've read a few already, For Owen was a good but Paranoid: A Chant is my favourite so far. Also in terms on poems are they always horror based or with the usual King themes in mind? And also would Mr King ever consider publishing an anthology of poems his wrote or is writing, or are they just another aspect to his very diverse writing style?

Most of his early poetry (six poems) was reprinted in a book called Devil's Wine, edited by Tom Piccirilli and published by Cemetery Dance. Other than the ones in King's collection and one other published last year in Playboy, there isn't that much out there to gather up.

Thanks, Bev. Here's a little more info about Devil's Wine including the list of Steve's poems that are in that collection.

Not ashamed to say this newest one made me cry.
