I'll Fly Away
I'll Fly Away | Rudy Francisco
7 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
In his stunningly intimate, highly anticipated follow up to Helium, Rudy Fransico has created a collection of poems that savor the day-to-day, treating it as worship, turning it into an opportunity to plant new seeds of growth. Language so often fails us, but Fransico has found his way around this as he creates his own words for the things our language cannot give name to. Felenter (Noun) Definition: Someone who finds joy in things that people believe to be mundane. Using fascinating metaphors to convey common emotional states these poems are an act of remembrance, and an act of believing that you dear reader, are a celebration waiting for the lights to come up.

We have a small group of high school students who have recently discovered poetry and its been really fun to watch how excited they are about it! These are some books that were recommended or requested for the library... I've never been a huge poetry reader but I think much of that is because of how it was taught when I was in school.
Fortunately, the English teachers I work with are fabulous, right @LittleMouse5708 ?!

LittleMouse5708 I can't wait to read Fierce Fairytales! Poetry is normally how I solve my book hangovers, when I want to keep reading but can't fully commit to a new series. 2y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This a solid follow-up to Rudy‘s debut “Helium”, and it certainly packs a punch. This collection covered topics such as depression, racism, gun violence, police brutality, fatherhood, black culture, family, divorce, and love. I wish some of the poems and topics were expanded more, and the censure aspect was an interesting addition. I look forward to what Rudy Francisco publishes next!

If you like spoken word poetry, then you‘ll enjoy this. A lot of short poems that I wish were longer, but on a whole I enjoyed it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
