Synopsis

In a voice both unflinching and deeply compassionate, Rustin Larson has created a luminous, deadly serious, yet self-deprecating & quietly outrageous collection of poetry. Stylistically diverse, This book gives the reader compelling reason to be attentive to those extraneous forces that would define us.
