Looking Back From Nowhere Damian Nesdore

This collection of early poems is a mixture of styles influenced by e.e. cummings, Ezra Pound, Sylvia Plath, Octavio Paz and others. The poems paint a panorama of passion, cruelty, and despair. Ultimately, they are an attempt to find meaning in this tumultuous existence by examining both the redeeming and the disturbing facets of everyday life. The author, having struggled his way through a wide range of economic, social, and emotional experiences, takes an intense philosophical approach to dissecting the fabric of one's life. In so doing, he provides a unique view into people's flawed hearts, bringing their darkness to verse.
