Description:
Submerged in decades of emotion, Not Quite Heaven, is the debut collection from Ricardo Moran that invites the reader to walk into a world where spirituality, magical realism, and everyday life become acts of liberation. Steeped in the landscapes of southern California, Nebraska, and Albania, these poems tell of love, loss, and coming out. Unifying urban and rural settings, and journeying across time, this collection describes how utopia can still be found, even on the outskirts of heaven.
