Strong opener to a new series by a new author, even if it's more graphic (and some of the prose is more 'purple') than it needs to be.

Rudy has a way with words. Whether it's reading them or hearing him speak them aloud, they hit home. Highly recommend giving this collection of poetry and prose a chance.

"In The Grapes of Wrath, every other chapter is a description, a metaphor, prose poetry, it’s not plot…I subconsciously borrowed that structure from Steinbeck when I wrote The Martian Chronicles."
