In his second volume of poetry, Jace Paul takes a retrospective look at the works of his early years. Roughly divided into two eras, the 'King’s Road' years of his childhood and the time spent in a 'Pleasant Street' apartment during college, the poems are deeply confessional and richly textured with strong and often conflicting emotions. From the award-winning 'Breakfast' and 'The Serpent,' to poignant set-pieces like 'Bill' and 'L’Americain,' Paul consistently employs colorful, straightforward language to capture his subjects and experiences. Though poetry has lost much of its appeal and value in the twenty-first century, Paul charges it with new energy by making it more about stories than images, more compassionate than abstract.
