ATOMIC WONDER by Rowan Wilde Riggs
welcome to a world bursting with invitations: to frolic, to be dappled, to bathe in radiant beams. to wonder at your own extravagance. to party in the confetti of the airborne washing machine. these poems dive straight into the nectar of life face-first and wouldn’t dream of holding back. as riggs writes, “i look into the abyss but i am choosing to fly.”
go with the flinging fresh
round of flaming syntax
and make a stand against
the walls of conformity
rowan wilde riggs transverses the literary mindscape and dances on the web of alliteration. he frolics on the lily pad of verse and dunks the nomenclature of tousled punctuation. he floats through the social whimsy by enjoying the bounty of Vermont and playing in the grace of nature.
