Real Time Reality Check
Never ever has a poet touched my soul the way that Rudy Francisco has. Each line that I read makes me mindful of the value and reality of my senses, of my ability to use my words to define my humanity and to navigate my experience with other human beings.
_Excuse Me As I Kiss the Sky_ is a powerful experience. Conjuring words to sing its praises hardly seems like enough. The words are beautiful and precisely and delicately placed like a multidimensional mosaic where laughter, joy, reality, and sorrow are blended like a perfect combination of sweet and salty.
All of Rudy Francisco's books are triumphant and humble and they all shine a light on the reality of being human, the things that we need to celebrate, and the places where we need to wake up and start working.
