Description
Fiction. Poetry. Nick Ripatrazone writes the kind of stories that sneak up on you as they build quietly and relentlessly to their explosive ends. Moving with dark, deliberate energy, Ripatrazone's work digs beneath ordinary lives simmering with the unforgivable hurt of broken dreams and missed opportunities and with the dangerous pull of desire and obsession. In deeply human stories about brothers, friends, and lovers, Ripatrazone tracks the silent, intense movement of subterranean lives on the verge of insight, revenge, and redemption.
