Dragonflies and Algebra

Dennis Trujillo has composed a magical collection of poems that resonate with wonder and vivid imagery. His poems transport the reader to a place where dragonflies and dandelions occupy the same lofty realm as angels and stars. A wooden bicycle veers. Running in snow and rain becomes a form of worship. Poems on seemingly mundane topics-the subway, bus, and classroom-are immersed in mystery and surprise. Enchanting and sublime, this poetry collection will astonish readers-and that is what this poet believes is the true purpose of poetry.
