I Made A Place For You

Review\nThere is a magnetic quality to the way Damian White crafts his verses that makes his words pop out of the pages, becoming more than a sum of their parts. This is what top-tier poets do.\n~ Readers' Favorite\nReaders can navigate White's terrain with a sense of unfolding lies, secrets, and revelations that coexist under the veneer of truth, understanding, and reality both within and outside self, in the greater world.\n~ Midwest Book Review\nIf you've got I Made a Place for You on your coffee table or bedside table, it's going to prove extremely browsable. Pick it up and flip through it and spend time with a couple of artists who spent careful time curating and connecting things they care deeply about.\n~ Independent Book Review\nThis is an emotionally-resonant, observant, and thought-provoking collection of poetry. I heartily enjoyed I Made A Place For You for its potent, authentic and lyrical poetry that expertly utilized beautiful imagery to add additional layers to an already fascinating collection.\n~ Literary Titan\nThe images marry the whimsical and the macabre with elements of both Dalí and The Little Prince. While the drawings aren't explicitly religious, they convey a journey through the unknown and the indescribable...\n~ Kirkus\n"...a wholly original work that asks all of us to look a bit deeper inside ourselves, and to excavate all that we've buried for too long."\n- Dr. Clint Smith, New York Times best-selling author of How The Word Is Passed\n"It's like language poetry crossed with gospel: extremely powerful."\n- Dan Gutstein, author of Metacarpalism\n---\nWhat if I told you the golden rule of speech is to speak when spoken through?\nThis poetry collection explores a number of themes, ranging from spirituality and religion to perseverance and humility. The poems in Damian White's debut book dwell less in the realm of imagistic and narrative impulses and more so strive for "higher order statement."\nIn I Made A Place For You, we experience the turmoil unearthed from daring to make a place for our inmost curiosities.
