Poetry. Stephen Sturgeon's highly anticipated debut collection features over thirty poems which range in style from classically formalized stanzas on memory and vitality to allusive and lyrical free verses, chronicling—among other subjects—the stories of lost friends, a prophetic head that speaks from a tree branch, and an old black moon.
"Driven by synesthesia, Stephen Sturgeon's magnificent poems affect the senses and embed themselves in the intellect, permanently."—Philip Nikolayev
