Riassunto

In his fourth book of verse, the works of Rudy Calder¿n have searched beyond the five senses to reach for an un-sensing reality, a 19th century transcendental realm. From Odes to Whitman, Ray Charles, Nelson Mandela, and Ho Chi Minh, to the reverberating poems like "Today I Celebrate Myself" and "Simple Cord" Calderon's poetry shows a passionate struggle for unearthing the layers of the human soul. This volume of poetry has unleashed "El Duende," the muse has been liberated to such an extent that this piece of work has taken a life of its own. The eclectic assortment of soul searching letters found here will keep the reader coming back to attempt to decipher the message left from Calderon's poetry. A connoisseur of poetry must pick and add this volume to their library.
