From the publisher: "Hum Decode is a conversation between the dusty heartbeat of the scape and the overwhelming silence that gives it life. Justin Runge has created a monument from an economy of words. He has zipped life into the inanimate and laid to rest the question: 'When will my mind be blown by poetry?'"
Justin Runge is the author of Plainsight (New Michigan Press, 2012) and Hum Decode (Greying Ghost Press, 2014). His criticism has been featured by Black Warrior Review and Pleiades, and his poetry has been published in Cincinnati Review, Poetry Northwest, DIAGRAM, and other journals.
