#MuchBetter #ThanksForAsking

"Christian Lane's #MuchBetter #ThanksForAsking, a series of spoken word poems, comes alive from the opening page. To read them is a very different experience than to hear them performed. In performance, of course, nuances of tone and inflection are subject to the author's emphasis and interpretation, but here before your eyes it's the unstressed syllables, the interstices, that emerge and shift into the foreground telling a story of their own. Beneath the carefully synchronized beats and thrumming repetitions, is a quiet longing, a heartfelt plea for connection. Like poems and songs of the deepest resonance, Lane's poems sing on, lonely and hopeful, like your own."   ~Daniel Coshnear, author. via Amazon reviews.
