The Greenwood Poet spent two years spelunking the archive, grounds, and barrows of Greenwood Cemetery — America’s oldest and greatest rural cemetery. While there, he uncovered stories of love and loss, stories of shipwreck and tragedy. And he met several Fae creatures who had something to say about New York city. Written mostly in heroic meter with a couple breaks for spoken word and Renaissance meters, The Greenwood Poet calls us to return to the Arcadia in our own neighborhood.
And does so through poetic fictions.

Review

The Greenwood Poet by Lancelot Schaubert is a beautiful and heart-touching poetry collection. What really made this collection special for me was that the poems in this collection are all themed beautifully, rooted in a place that holds a very special place for the author. I am a believer in certain places holding an unyielding grip on one’s heart and soul and every poem in this collection makes my belief stronger.

So I loved the entire collection and though there were a few favourites, overall this book makes for an excellent read with the bite-sized poems that are more contemplative in their content than their length.

Two siblings. One manor. One Entity. Who will survive?
When Leela Jamwal returns to her ancestral home tucked along the monsoon-drenched Konkan coast, she believes she’s coming back to grieve, to regroup, and to protect her younger brother. But the Manor—sprawling, decaying, and watchful—has been waiting far longer than that.
Unspoken tragedies haunt every corridor. Mirrors move. Walls hum. And Leela begins to dream of a girl no one remembers—except the house.
What begins as mourning quickly becomes unravelling as Leela uncovers the dark legacy of her bloodline: a lineage bound to an ancient force known only as the Widow. A force that demands obedience, sacrifice, and silence. And Leela is the next in line.
As time fractures and the Manor tightens its grip, she must confront a choice older than herself: her brother, her unborn child, or herself.
Because in this house, you don’t inherit the curse. You are the curse.
