He reminds us of the magical realism ofGabriel García Márquezand Jorge Luis Borges: "A piano, / With its keys locked under its cover, / Is some giant creature / At the bottom of the sea, /Waiting." Like a painter saturating the colors of Earth, exalting its geography from delirious beauty to war nightmares, Larson takes the reader on a dreamlike journey, filled with flashbacks, family memories, and ghosts. The Philosopher Savantis a moving and...

Praise for Rustin Larson's Red Wing:The stories are beautiful. I think you've made your mark as a writer of the Iowa landscape, particularly in winter, and small town life. These stories heavily affected by place are so memorable and poignant, plus often funny too.--Suzanne RhodenbaughI'm enjoying the stories.

Among cornfields, junkyards, and a Dairy Queen, the eclectic cast of Rustin Larson's Lost Letters and Windfalls marches across a rural stage: an old woman small 'like a burlap bag/ full of nylons, ' family members, angels, finches, the wind, the muse, and a young girl in a Degas painting. The poet asserts: 'The light falls upon all things. I have/ my memory of you-quiet as a/ picture frame among all these broken houses.' In poem after poem, La...

In ÒThe Philosopher Savant Crosses the River, Ó Rustin Larson now winds his words several notches closer to a phantom sense of the certainties we once thought we could assume Ñ the way life promised a few solid things, perhaps Òthe purpose of life, Ó which now seems sold door to door as Òan abrupt change, Ó if anything.Ê Words in their ordinary sense have been released from those customary connections, and often seem spoken from a place of flo...

NAMED FEBRUARY 2019 EXEMPLAR BY THE WASHINGTON INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF BOOKS!He makes everything greater because he's a smart singer, every poem is a win. Moments shine with an unselfconscious voice. We cannot imagine how easily paint can be applied if we just speak in real time of consequential things with a depth of heart. Within that modest framework the passage of words has a capability and a sphere of influence without limits. The poetry dy...

Rustin Larson?s exquisitely crafted new collection mixes the ordinary, real world with surreal, fantastical visions. ?I arrive at a mansion / Surrounded by fallen branches/ And ice. / Inside are chairs / That resemble lions / Or laws / Or the boredom of kings.? He reminds us of the magical realism of Gabriel Garc?a M?rquez and Jorge Luis Borges: ?A piano, / With its keys locked under its cover, / Is some giant creature / At the bottom of the s...

Rustin Larson is courageous in that he is not willing to take refuge in the ordinary. His poetry has been described as "stylistically diverse, " but as this comprehensive collection demonstrates, the style of his work is not applied as a matter of form, rather, it is derived from the nature of the poems themselves. So the reader's experience is one of wholeness, of the seamless expression of style, idea, imagery, emotion, and message. I read a...
