Blue Rain is a cornucopia of moving poems -- some political, some satiric, some lyrical, some touching, and some quite humorous. The interviews are of very different poets - Dave Brinks, the English poet Roland John, and Mark Strand. Lenny Emmanuel's patriotism is critical of much that is happening in contemporary America. The prose, the poems, the photographs - some of staggeringly grand breasts - are engrossing. With this second collection, Lenny Emmanuel has stepped out of the box, colored outside the lines and poems of his peers - with the academics, librarians, and administrators of the establishment running scared to their comfort zones. He is now in the company of persecuted creative innovators. Though the poet has referred to this book as his "Hell" book, Blue Rain may end up being among his best works.
