Asher Blake's book of lyric poetry, Staggering Nomads and Black Flag Commandos, speaks to people who are full of mental and material freedom and have found themselves in unique, solitary positions, sometimes devoid of vital meaning. These poems embrace the outcast, poor, sex workers, and others, witnessing the songs that emerge from them. There are love songs to Christ, romantic songs, and lonely visions, in a variety of registers throughout.
