The Blood in My Veins

The Blood In My Veins is about preserving moments in time. U. V. RAY wrote the poems in this book while on the move; in hotel rooms, train stations, coffee shops and bars. His penchant for breaking poetry down to its bare minimum documents an otherwise forgotten moment with primitive emotional vigour - which also adds dimension in the process. This collection reads like a book of snapshots - which alongside poems for Marilyn Monroe, Monica Bellucci and Brigitte Bardot - speak with a deceptive simplicity, often expressing in just one sentence what many others might struggle to say in a whole lifetime.
