If you like banging your head against the wall, shifting your definitions of love and art, setting your yearning to music, or going a little bonkers, then Halberd Books is for you. Thematically varied but lyrically secure, Halberd Books vol. 2 combines four new poetry chapbooks with the very first prose fiction chapbook from David M. Briggs. Moods range from helpless grief to bouncing joy, but all throughout runs the rhythmic intensity that has always drawn audiences in.
