Our next book release is 𝘈 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘊𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘐𝘯 by Hugh Blanton and drops on April 26th!! A collection of raw observations about city life by an urban recluse.
“Real life urban grit.”
—Mikko Tasanen, author of The Gift.
“As someone who had a foot in both worlds growing up, I recognize bits of myself in Hugh Blanton’s poetry. There’s the gritty face of urban life with an Appalachian point of view underlying. I’m transported to his point of view from the first phrase, every time!”
—Kelly Woodard
“Blanton’s fascinating debut conjures up an urban-scape which weaves both beauty and bleakness in equal measures via razor-sharp observation and almost back-breaking imagery. Within these pages we hear the words of solitude whispered within crowds, placed within his unique poetic narrative which pulls you along, but never lets you completely settle. A true outsider voice offering a precise documentation of city life, celebrating all its extremities, evils and joys. This is the writing of a genuine authentic, who has lived their subject matter and reported it back via this outstanding collection. I cannot recommend this book enough.”
—Jonathan Butcher, Editor at Fixator Press.
