Pure Land Blues is a collection of poetry that explores a world that is conflicted with immense beauty and suffering. These poems are an attempt at rapping ones head, and ones heart, around being in a place filled with, wonder, delight, and agony. Loss and grief woven with beauty and awe form the fabric of our nature. Stein's poetry explores how these themes coexist, and how do we coexist with them. Come along for the ride you are already on, the spectacular absurdity of the everyday.
