Basement Poems Paul Hopkins

'Basement Poems' is unique in that it offers the reader an insight to a world driven by harsh reality and subdued by poetic softness. Though its contents are as sharp as a double edge sword it covers a diverse range of emotions and ideas which push the limits of both free verse and rhyming poetry to create a book that is interesting if not impossible to ignore. It expresses in descriptive detail the author's thoughts on politics, love and individual growth. This book is raw with a 21st century attitude and the images it portrays come to life right off the pages leaving the reader with questions and above all, a sense of wonder shared with the world.
