Description
Rapture Red & Smoke Grey captures the everyday moments of life and translates them into a rich microcosm of expereince. Sarah Gordon skillfully targets the things that make us swoon-the small things that interest and excite us; the bits that capture our attention; and those things that quietly make us rage. Blending various poetic styles with an eye for detail, Gordon takes us from outside her apartment through South Dakota and finally to Kansas City. Along the way, we are privy to her joys and sorrows-not to mention her postcards.
