Description

Among Ruins is an intriguing mixture of the fantastic and the frighteningly real. These poems, tinged with the irony of life and politics, convey a dark and powerful mythic undertone that speaks not only to the reader but to the reader's soul. This is a haunting and memorable first collection.' -Bruce Meyer

The verses collected in Among Ruins are distilled lessons from history, infused with enough passion to make the dusty old characters breathe again.Ó (Broken Pencil)
