The Sun In Rags

The Sun In Rags is the 10th and latest book from author Robert Benefiel. The book is derived from two small chapbook pressings back in 2002, as well as other fully edited works from the author in previous printed journals and submissions. The poems in the book have a wide a range of theme, but often pertain to individuality versus conformity and the prices each carries. Whether it is a woman refusing to take off her mask at a gas station on Halloween, or a priest who is against torture while living under the roof of a church that is founded on its messiah being tortured to death, the author points out both the freedom and constraints of being an individual in a world full of individuals.
