In his 13th book of poetry, jacob erin-cilberto shows us why his work has won critical acclaim. This volume takes us on a poetically metaphorical, bluesy journey into verse about life and love, imbued with vibrant metaphors and complex images conveyed by simple language which defines his work. With acrostics, senryus and haikus, the poet makes the ordinary extraordinary. Jacob's poetry takes root in the human experience to which every reader can relate. It will touch the soul because it is genuine and reflective in nature. It will resonate with every reader on some level, because of its authenticity and simplicity. His economy of words belies the complexity of his romantic themes. It is as if he has taken a small piece of the lives of each of us, and brought them together at the intersection of love and anguish.
