I don't have enough words to describe how beautiful it was. ( ) A poetry collection about love, heartbreak, discovery, race, racism, and anger. I don't read poetry. To love poetry you must love the language, I merely like the language. I don't know if these are artful, profound, or even good. I can't properly evaluate these poems. I am a poor judge of poetry. But I liked these poems, that read more like statements than poems. More like open thoughts than conclusions. A collection I could get behind. Helium I Picked Up This Book Because: I ran across the poet randomly on Facebook and have been stalking (what I thought was one poem it’s actually 3 in this book) ever since. The Characters: The Story: Part I: Rudy insists he is not a love poet in one of his works in this part, If I Was a Love Poet. Rudy is a liar. It has taken me days to get through part one because the notions that he puts forth through his words have been enough to shock me into stillness and a need to reflect on said words. If I can’t be loved half as well as this I’m going to be single forever. (I was already going to be single forever I shouldn’t put that weight on these words) Part II: The major theme in part 2 is heartbreak. Relationships that have gone awry. The thoughts and ideas are just as poignant and thoughtful as part one. Part III: Life. I am blown away. Part IV: I am in awe of the talent represented on these pages. I’d like to wallpaper a room with these poems. The Random Thoughts: 5 Stars no reviews | add a review

HTML: Helium is the debut poetry collection by internet phenom Rudy Francisco, whose work has defined poetry for a generation of new readers. Rudy's poems and quotes have been viewed and shared millions of times as he has traveled the country and the world performing for sell-out crowds. Helium is filled with work that is simultaneously personal and political, blending love poems, self-reflection, and biting cultural critique on class, race and gender into an unforgettable whole. Ultimately, Rudy's work rises above the chaos to offer a fresh and positive perspective of shared humanity and beauty. .No library descriptions found. |
