Psythur, now in its second edition from The Ravens Quoth Press, is a bold and kaleidoscopic anthology of poetry that traverses the twisted corridors of the human psyche. Featuring work from over 40 international contributors, this collection amplifies themes of identity, trauma, grief, vengeance, surrealism, empowerment, and emotional recovery. The title itself—a portmanteau of “psyche” and “arthurian”—suggests an epic internal landscape where myth and mind entwine.
The voices in Psythur are varied and vivid: from surrealist dreamscapes and Lovecraftian horrors to delicate confessions and raw emotional catharsis. Poems range in tone from intimate to incendiary, drawing the reader into a realm where language fractures and reforms to mirror the complexities of thought and being. This anthology resists simplicity, offering instead a tapestry of human experience that is as brutal as it is beautiful.
Ideal for readers who crave poetry with psychological depth, feminist resonance, or dark, speculative elements, Psythur is a visceral reading experience that challenges, confronts, and ultimately connects. Whether read in solitude or shared aloud, these poems remind us that within the chaos of the mind, there is fierce, unrelenting art.
Psythur is a collections of works selected by the editors throughout the year, and poems published on our Patreon. Pieces that stirred our minds, imaginations, hearts, or souls.
