The Blood in My Veins U.V. Ray

The Blood In My Veins is about preserving moments in time. U. V. RAY wrote the poems in this book while on the move; in hotel rooms, train stations, coffee shops and bars. His penchant for breaking poetry down to its bare minimum documents an otherwise forgotten moment with primitive emotional vigour - which also adds dimension in the process. This collection reads like a book of snapshots - which alongside poems for Marilyn Monroe, Monica Bellucci and Brigitte Bardot - speak with a deceptive simplicity, often expressing in just one sentence what many others might struggle to say in a whole lifetime.
