The poem that started it all and introduced the world to The Man in Black aka Randall Flagg. I need this to add to my collection (along with the Secretary of Dreams volumes) but they are impossible to find for a decent price anymore.
pickReally cool. I didn‘t even know this existed. It‘s an illustrated poem. Stephen King‘s first glimpses of the creation that would become Randall Flagg, or Walter, or the Man in Black, were in a poem he wrote back in the late 60s. It actually a really intriguing poem, and it is interesting to see the seeds of such a prominent character. The illustrations work.
I didn't want to post a page containing a bit of the poem or illustration because I don't want to give anything away. This is magnificent and I encourage fans of King and/or poetry to check it out. #litsypoetry365
