I was immediately captured by the immense narrative form that I found. I later bought The Light the Dead See and was amazed yet again. Upon finally getting my hands on this book I can say without a doubt that I am in love with the words of Frank Stanford.The new edition is not 542 pages long, but this is a result of the enlarged book format that the publishers chose. However, the poem is a single, 15,000+ line stanza of poetry that can seem most daunting any way you look at it. What got me going is my anticipation. I just dove into the book and didn't look back.Within the narrative, you find Francis, who is an amazing guide through a rural, Southern landscape, filled with adventure and figurative language that at times cause me to catch my breath. Francis narrates from both an observational and personal point of view, and it is up to the reader to catch up with him. At times he is telling you what happened to him, what he heard about someone else, what he was/is dreaming, and what he plans on doing.The text is full of allusions and references to other epic stories. Francis and the events and people who surround him culminate with these allusions into an Epic for the modern reader. At times the writing looks too unorganized to be an epic, but this is not the case. I am convinced that Stanford knew what he was doing every single line and word of the way. This truly is poetry with every line a composition in itself.At every turn of the page there is a new secret, a new wonderful discovery to be found. I urge you to read this book and help to re-discover a lost American poet. I was so impressed, I bought a second copy as a gift and would not hesitate to do so again for the right person. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Frank Stanford, wow. *by T***L on Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2023* Frank Stanford was a legit American genius. He left behind some great work, which is both a consolation and a tragic reminder of the brilliance that was cut short too soon. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required reading. *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2019* While it is a very thick read, I feel as though this book should be required reading for anyone studying American literature. Stanford was a lost and dark soul, whose ability to transfer his emotion directly into these words.Amazing. Amazing.
