From Paris Lost Vegas Home again

<p><strong>A Journey of Love Loss and Becoming</strong></p><p></p><p>Arthur Jackson V's <em>From Paris Lost Vegas Home again</em> is a firework of language-urgent intimate honest. These poems move like sexy jazz riffs through noir-like neon-lit streets of Vegas quiet back alleys of Paris and the aching spaces that make themselves known on one side or the other of memory and desire.</p><p></p><p>With a voice both tender and unrelenting Jackson captures the raw beauty of human longing-the way we touch the way we leave the way we search for home in cities in strangers and in ourselves. Each poem beats with lived experience: love affairs that smolder the weight of nostalgia the seduction of escape and the slow burn of self-discovery.</p><p>From the candle-lit hush of Notre Dame to the sweat-drenched dance floors of San Francisco these poems unfold like postcards from the soul-written with ink sweat and sometimes a little blood.</p><p></p><p>For lovers of poetry that stings and soothes in equal measure this book is an invitation-to feel deeply to remember recklessly and to lose yourself in the rhythm of a poet who isn't afraid to tell his truth.</p>
