Book Soup says…

Poet/painter Milo Martin's enduring love affair with Los Angeles has taught him many things — chiefly, how to be comfortable with paradox. His writing evokes LA's dissonant loveliness: its hulking gray architecture and searing blue skies, the extremes in its cultural and economic worlds, and its proud, sparkling superficiality. Martin's latest book of poems and art examines what it's like to live, love, think, and create while straddling the border between the optimistic search for beauty and the suspicion that the world is going to hell in a hand basket.
