Richard Cody

Richard Cody is a writer of poetry, fiction and shopping lists. His work, mostly the poetry and fiction, has appeared in many and varied print and virtual publications.

He is the author of:

"The Jewel in The Moment" - Random observations in haikuish.

"This is Not My Heart" - More than 70 poems written over the last decade or so and spanning styles from free and open verse to metered and lyrical rhyme. Subject matter is equally broad, covering slice of life observations on love, writing, and urban life, and fantastic flights of fantasy. A book that can be opened to wry insight and deft wordplay at any page.

"Darker Corners" - Fourteen tales of the strange and macabre. Reviewers had this to say about the first edition of "Darker Corners":

"Stories like "A Night at the Games" where a girl literally chews herself into bits or "City Life"... leave you with a strange and macabre sense of awe that few other writers can muster." - Earl Wynn

"...Richard Cody showcases both a vivid imagination and a strong talent for realizing these warped yet oddly beautiful visions in literary form." - Will "The Thrill" Viharo

"...a disturbing journey through the more unsavory aspects of life - not to mention human nature. . . Darker Corners stands out both for its imaginative flair and vivid storytelling power." - Renee Washburn, Apex Reviews
