Publisher's Synopsis
Gathered into one collection, Michael Randolph explores the heart and soul of human nature. A vast array of unique voices from all the different shades of life and death. Compelling in its overall reach of the depth and range of tragedy and hope. Love and Anguish, Hope and Malevolence reside within, to shine for all to witness. With this massive collection of 140 poems, you will laugh and cry, cringe and pull the blankets farther up as you take journeys into the darkness and light of our world and beyond. From Best Selling and Bram Stoker Award Winning Author Joe McKinney: "So much of the poetry in this book concerns itself with death, and yet, when you consider the sum of its parts, Missives in Red is very much a book about life. Michael Randolph uses his book, a massive offering that covers a wide spectrum of voices, to shine his light on the dark corners of our lives - and yes, on our follies too. There is pain here, and love; fear, and bittersweet joy; tears, and even laughter. Michael Randolph is a deeply insightful poet to watch." -Joe McKinney, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Savage Dead and Dead City
