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

Editorial Reviews
Now we find authors like Christopher Doda again excavating the classics, using the past to pepper poems that are ultimately very contemporary and relevant. 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)
