Falling Apart To A Beautiful Song

By Robert Benefiel

Falling Apart To A Beautiful Song is a new collection of poems from the author and artist Robert Benefiel. The material presented here is a departure from the straightforward and often biographical work of previous books, choosing instead to present ideas in a less direct, albeit still, meaningful way. Closer to a stream of consciousness that has later been edited, the poems range from a checker and a chess piece getting a drink after work, to coming across a makeshift memorial, to a simple fold in a blanket being able to influence a person's thoughts. In the sense that one can make bacon and eggs in many different ways, the writer chooses to present his unconsciousness in a very consciences way, even if it is not in a standard or direct form. By doing this the author lets the reader fill in some of the gaps with the faces and ideas they have in their own heads when thinking of death, life, love, or many of the themes found in the work of any author or artist around the world. Whether viewed as babbling or brilliance, the author presents the conception that one can just as easily look like the other, but that a little of both can be derived from any artistic expression.
