Rapture Red & Smoke Grey

Poetry as journal from a visual artist-turned-military medic.

Rapture Red & Smoke Grey captures the everyday moments in life and translates them into a rich microcosm of experience. Sarah Gordon skillfully targets the things that make us swoon—the small things that interest and excite us; the bits that demand our attention; and those things that quietly make us rage. Blending various poetic styles with an eye for detail, Gordon takes us from outside her apartment through South Dakota and finally to Kansas City. Along the way, we are privy to her joys and sorrows. Rapture Red & Smoke Grey is the ordinary made brilliant. And the brilliant made real.
