Description

With dark humor, spare language and a keen eye, Daniel Ames invites us all to pull up a chair to his first collection of poems. In FEASTING AT THE TABLE OF THE DAMNED, Ames celebrates, observes and reflects not only on how we choose to live, but how we ultimately live with those choices. Ames's book is an exploration. It's an examination of the ramifications of living life to the utmost degree. How do we reconcile the emotional extremes between love and death, joy and sorrow, hope and regret, trust and betrayal? There are no answers, but the poems in FEASTING provide a few clues.Loaded with themes ranging from war and the pursuit of happiness, to dreams and the fine line between sanity and insanity, FEASTING is a moving collection of poems that resonate long after they've been read... and savored. "Colorful, intimate, spare and evocative, Ames wraps the bitter truth of how we choose to live life within sly humor and poignant truthfulness. These poems leave a big echo."-Ken Meisel, author of Beautiful Rust"Dan Ames subtly weaves dark humor with deep profundity. The landscape of his poetry is filled with bitch trees and fishing trees, locales like Montana, Greece, and the abandoned neighborhoods of Detroit, and human lives lived 'in the shadows where sound doesn't carry.' At the end of this feast, though, you will be filled with 'that giant thing / called truth.'"-John Jeffire, author of Stone + Fist + Brick + Bone"Ames has made a haunting debut that marries the present with the past. Playful yet dark, metaphoric but all too real, Feasting invites us to eat, drink, and enjoy the eerie company of The Damned."-Lori A. May, author of stains
