Godkiller

di Archer Sun (Autore)

Archer Sun, 2025

This poem collection is about survival, reconstruction of the self and the mist of thrill. 21 poems woven together packaged in a modern-day myth. Loving on the edge of everything and learning to dance along it. Picking up the murder weapon and placing a kiss to the barrel. This chapbook is an anthem to setting yourself free and living with the scars. Praise for GODKILLER: "At its core, GODKILLER is a story of reclamation hidden within the language of tragedy. Sun weaves biblical allegory and losing dogs during the day, just to unpick it with gentle nods to his survival. GODKILLER takes you into the depths of belief in false gods only to burn down heaven. This is not Sun licking his wounds and kicking rocks at abuse; this is Sun rising from something devastating and walking onwards towards himself. GODKILLER is a collection of poems that aim themselves at various characters - the dog boy, Ophelia in her riverbed, God reimagined as an intoxicant - but always leave you feeling struck. At any moment, you are feeling the full force of Sun's attention, unblinking and direct. His lexical precision and craft are invisible forces compelling you to lose yourself in the world he's written, leaving you in listless awe. Sun's technical brilliance shines through in his use of structure, his imagery falling seamlessly into place to seat God in the line of fire. His references to other poetic greats connect him in an endless web of writers who sought to explain the deepest of the heart's melancholy, only reinforcing that Sun is a real, living person - which, of course, only makes poems like Boy Like A Gun more devastating. Never has such a deeply feeling person been mischaracterised as having a utilitarian existence. Sun blows the shade from his story, revealing the rotted maw of God, the howl of the dogboy, and a free Ophelia. Sun says it best; let's see your gut now." - Ozzy Welch, This Is All You Left Me With
