A poetry collection that soothes as much as it shocks; Kris Falcon's second book is a feast for the mind. Beautiful phrases unearth themselves in the rubble, and readers will find themselves re-reading lines and savoring the way it sounds in their heads and hearts. Some blue, a little spur contains over fifty poems - many dealing with the lockdown, friendship, emotions, and life's great questions. While not "uplifting" per se, this collection is pensive and lugubrious while still maintaining its beauty - like a butterfly in amber. "I am being trusted here for my capacity to be certain the robin has the boldest heart. A map on my palm stings right. Every branch toward the waves." Kris Falcon's poetry also appears in The Hong Kong Review, Atlanta Review, Gulf Stream Magazine, and other publications.
