I purchased this book from the publisher because I have long admired Sam Rasnake, whose work I first found on Fictionaut (an online literary community). I remember rereading the poems I came across with his name attached because in each of these poems I found something that can only be described as transcendent. In all of the poetry I've read by this author, I've felt as though I were writing the works I was reading because they felt so universally true, so much about the collective nature of art and not the individualistic nature of seeking recognition for art. Rasnake does not write for his audience, he writes his audience. He writes in deep admiration of the cinematic arts, and he illuminates these films as a result. This is a beautiful work, truly. I have been recommending this book everywhere I go.
