From Paris, Lost Vegas, Home again

By: Jackson, Arthur

A Journey of Love, Loss, and Becoming

Arthur Jackson V's From Paris, Lost Vegas, Home again is a firework of language-urgent, intimate, honest. These poems move like sexy jazz riffs through noir-like neon-lit streets of Vegas, quiet back alleys of Paris, and the aching spaces that make themselves known on one side or the other of memory and desire.

With a voice both tender and unrelenting, Jackson captures the raw beauty of human longing-the way we touch, the way we leave, the way we search for home in cities, in strangers, and in ourselves. Each poem beats with lived experience: love affairs that smolder, the weight of nostalgia, the seduction of escape, and the slow burn of self-discovery.

From the candle-lit hush of Notre Dame to the sweat-drenched dance floors of San Francisco, these poems unfold like postcards from the soul-written with ink, sweat, and sometimes, a little blood.

For lovers of poetry that stings and soothes in equal measure, this book is an invitation-to feel deeply, to remember recklessly, and to lose yourself in the rhythm of a poet who isn't afraid to tell his truth.
