Unquiet Remains

Renders a malleable world of snowfalls and ghosts of snowfalls and loved ones and seasons which speak from murky dimensions. We are both grounded and unhinged as the poet presents a kaleidoscopic universe rooted in laws and principles foreign to our assumptions and protected comfortabilities. Within this existential marvel is a crooning protagonist who wanders worlds of convoluted revelation delivered through headstones. Access to the unseen only heightens the voice which is both shaman and barfly and leaves the reader both delivered and mournful. Sometimes a poetry collection takes us to church. Here, Blanchard will leave you praising your gods, clapping your hands, and catching your holy ghosts.-Derrick Harriell.
