<p>Cry, Howl, the latest poetry collection by Edward Vidaurre, is sharply focused and insightful into today's reality. It penetrates the disturbing state of things in this "new normal" way of life that seems to besiege us all. But the poet arms himself and us with powerful images that shore up that drowning city that can inhabit us. The hope in his poems center around family, and the emotional relativity of loved ones becomes the saving grace that can rescue us from our precipice. There is weaving and interweaving of infinite axioms in this poetry of Vidaurre, which is portentous, poetry that remains engraved in the deepest part of our being.</p>
