The Standing Place

Lamond Channels Bukowski and offers readers a series of vignettes: some one night stand, the raw emotion of heartbreak. His best work, though,might be his accounts of those in-between moments. Those moments of self-reflection all have but never speak about. The secrets we all hold in common but wont acknowledge.Lamond is a retired Marine. He's seen much and felt more. His poems are a testimony. Some to the extraordinary days and some to the starkly ordinary. The gray in between. He writes in an unapologetically masculine voice in the best sense of the words.
