I Can See The Lights

The prose poems in I Can See The Lights are earthy and raw, but also incredibly sensitive. More than one of them could bring you to tears. Characters are vividly brought to life, and stark but warm environments evoked in a down to earth, yet almost painterly manner by Russ Litten's uncompromising voice. Tales of home, of un-belonging, of strife at sea; of a northern city's beating heart, told in a mesmeric, stripped-down tone: this collection is a work of understated genius.
