Description

A storyteller above all else, Mark Lavorato's poems are penned in a clear, poignant, and relatable voice. His poetry chooses to hide things in plain sight. Dealing with themes that span the breadth of the contemporary world, Blowing Grass Empire takes the reader from cringe-worthy “firsts” to places outside of our planet's orbit. These vignettes are held together by their emotional power and resonance.
