Poems: 2007 - 2017

By Rustin Larson

Rustin Larson's exquisitely crafted new collection mixes the ordinary, real world with surreal, fantastical visions. "I arrive at a mansion / Surrounded by fallen branches/ And ice. / Inside are chairs / That resemble lions / Or laws / Or the boredom of kings." He reminds us of the magical realism of Gabriel Garc?a M?rquez and Jorge Luis Borges: "A piano, / With its keys locked under its cover, / Is some giant creature / At the bottom of the sea, /Waiting." Like a painter saturating the colors of Earth, exalting its geography from delirious beauty to war nightmares, Larson takes the reader on a dreamlike journey, filled with flashbacks, family memories, and ghosts. --H?l?ne Cardona, award winning author of Dreaming My Animal Selves / Le Songe de mes ?mes Animales.
