In fact, it’s not something I’d usually recommend reading all at once after the first time. Literally took the breath out of my lungs and stopped me in my tracks.Ī book of poetry is very quick to read through. I read things that hit so close they stunned me. If you can’t tell, I kind of liked Francisco’s work. It was so powerful, so moving, I immediately had to get my hands on this book and read more of his work. I actually bought his newest book Helium after listening to a performance of one of the poems from this book. Rudy Francisco is a great spoken word poet winning multiple poetry slams, as well as an author of four books of poetry. I’ve picked up a few poetry books recently, but this is the first one I really sunk into.
