Synopsis
The Cult of Seizure starts from a wonderfully lush photograph of a Florentine cavern by Tony Urquhart, and proceeds visually through a bestiary of the small creatures that crawl -- lizards, snakes, crickets ... all rendered in the style of the 19th century steel engraving, much after the manner of a dated zoology text.

Rikki is the author of three short-story collections, seven books of poetry, and seven novels, including The Fan-Maker's Inquisition and The Jade Cabinet. She is also a painter whose work has been exhibited widely. She currently lives in Denver, Colorado.
Review
`The Cult of Seizure is a combination of the bestial and the bestiary; of terror and of tenderness. Ducornet's sensibility is as hot and sharp and shining as a knife left out in the sun. A truly spirit-stirring collection of poetry.'
