Publisher's summary

In his stunningly intimate, highly anticipated follow up to Helium, Rudy Francisco 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 Francisco 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 listener, are a celebration waiting for the lights to come up.

Love Love Love

It’s so special that Rudy Narrated this himself. To hear his voice communicate and articulate this work of art is exactly what my ears were yearning for. Art in the form of vocalization.

So many emotions in 52 minutes

The first poetry I listened to on audiobook and I'm so glad I did. So many emotions I went through in just 52 minutes, that I had to listen to it twice! I even started following the author so I get updates on new books by him!!

Feels trip

I first heard of Rudy years ago on button poetry... Not sure why it took me so long to check out one of his books but I really enjoyed it. It felt like a story in a way as well as poetry. His writing is very poignant and some of his metaphors are like, mic drop worthy haha. Would recommend to anyone that enjoys spoken word or contemporary literature.
