Fireflies: Poetry

By Richard Gilmore Loftus

In his new poetry collection, "Fireflies," Richard Gilmore Loftus mines the extraordinary and commonplace, unearthing bright and dark revelations. His poems surprise in the turns they take and challenge the reader's comfort and conscience as they unveil all-too-human human nature. Beginnings and ends, pleasure and pain are his themes, with images that stay with the reader long after the final page. For those who wish to linger among villains, heroes, the feral and the tame, who wish to discover how they themselves might fit in the mix, this book holds a place. Praise for "Dress Whites," Loftus's previous poetry collection: "A debut book of earthy, elegiac poetry ... Titles that launch his poems from the highest peaks ... A compellingly emotional collection." -Kirkus Reviews, 2018.
