Rapture of Matter (Cleveland Poets Series No. 47) (Cleveland Poets Series No. 47)

Lavish, passionate, heretical, the poems in Frankie Paino's debut collection The Rapture of Matter read like illuminated leaves in a postmodern book of hours. These fearless poems go where they must wih a visionary fervor, guiding the reader through the darkest passages of experience and reminding us of the best, most redemptive qualities of the human spirit. --Lynda Hull
