Cracks in the Devil's Urn is a collection of contemporary fantasy poems about complex spirituality. Stoicism and nihilism are shown through love, music, lust, and falling from grace. Each poem is augmented with elements of the supernatural and teases a dogged optimism underneath. The language itself is marked by lyricism and sensibility. The encounters with Valkyrie, a Djinn, witches, and fallen angel rock stars create the fuller picture of the world around the central devil, Lucy. Lucy is bitter, but her self-love also overflows and touches those she tempts. The resulting poems speak less of what it means to be human, and more of what it means to be part of a broken world as a broken thing.
