Bleeding upon White: Poems of Love, Loss, Faith, and Life in VHS
Press play.
Bleeding upon White is a life played back on rewound to Transformers, sandboxes and every puddle worth splashing; recorded in the dizzy rush of falling in love; paused on a heartbreak that won’t let go; fast-forwarded to 4:32 a.m.; stopped at the edge of faith, doubt and grief.
Forty-eight poems by Ray Carroll, raw where it hurts and funny where you don’t expect it. A poem about saving the world by staying in bed. A first night told through an empty wine bottle and a Sinatra record. A prayer spoken to the only wall that won’t judge.
For anyone who grew up with a VCR, has seen a few 4 a.m.s, and still believes love can destroy hate.
This second edition is newly sequenced and redesigned, with ink-blot art opening each section.
