Poetry. Winner of the 2010 San Diego Book & Writing Award for Poetry. LIGHT IN ALL DIRECTIONS is a remarkable piece of writing written as is with an amazing closeness to death. Sometimes, as in "Tongues of Dust," it is from right inside death. "At the wake, they won't stop saying my name. / That's the point, I guess, to keep me from drifting too far." Sometimes it is the death caused by fire or bitterness or loss. But as you read, it does not harm you, instead you are fearful for him, for how far he has entered places we should not go. Brandon's writing is so sure and so honest you are willing to go where he takes you knowing he will leave you with something of value, difficult though it is.

Light in All Directions,
By Mary Lenore Quigley "Author & Poet, 'Indelibl... (San Marcos, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Light in All Directions (Paperback)
As voiced in his poem "Different Colors," Light in All Directions is clearly Cesmat's incredible pen creating eternal space for people, places and things meaningful in his life. "Coats of paint disappear into thirsty plaster, the way people and places do when anyone stops telling stories about them." Cesmat is a masterful storyteller. - Mary Lenore Quigley
