PRAISE:
What’s the difference between longing and yearning? The feral, sensuous poems in Saxophones and Dripping Faucets explore the nuances of this question, each poem in search of something: the other, the best moment, pleasure, love, time, or even shame. The stakes are high, the feelings run, and the language sizzles in this great collection.
— Michael Parker, Author of The Age of Discovery
The poet shows us the reality of relationships, the poignancy of loss, and the fleeting yet powerful encounters that shape our lives. Each poem is a vignette that blends vivid imagery with emotional resonance, from the gritty reality of “Brick” to the haunting reverie of “Suicide Dream.” The poet’s deft touch transforms everyday objects and moments into symbols of larger truths and personal epiphanies, bittersweet portraits, often illustrating the tension between innocence and experience while reflecting the complexity of growing up.
–Christopher Salerno, Author of The Man Grave
