RaveRagazineSean Thomas Dougherty’s most recent collection of poems...succeeds most of all in elucidating beauty, even among what is ugly, even among what is disheartening and difficult for a reader to face. In this, he finds moments of transcending what could be considered \'ordinary\' and rendering it \'extraordinary.\' The manner in which the poems move assumes a sense of the transience of a day, and yet the turning over of a new one ... Dougherty sees what is gritty and unfortunate in the world he moves through and brings it back \'to shape a breath\' ... This book will lead you to the core of what is real and true, in both heartbreaking and captivating ways.
