Little Fires Hiding

Jason Baldinger and James Bengers Little Fires Hiding offers glances into alternate realities into what might have been not only for Baldinger and Benger but the assortment of working class characters who occupy their world. To use a phrase from one of Baldingers pieces in the collection they are birds whove contemplated the higher branches of the tree probably more than a few times. Like many of us they never quite get there but their poems do and like the sunlight they cast a certain amount of beauty on the respective cities that these these two gifted poets choose quite happily to call home and even though theyre separated by many miles they come together seamlessly.--John Dorsey Author of Damsels in Detroit
