In spite of the cramped and lonely room in which they were written, the poems in Giuseppe Redstone's Of Mundane, Melancholy, and Madness are ever-expansive and married to their own darkness. Medicating his misery with whiskey and words, the poet looks deep into his own smeared reflection and finds another person staring back at him. Together, they dream dark dreams marred by regrets of past loves and nightmare-shaped shadows. But when the sun rises, he stuffs this other guy back down his gullet and moves about his Kafkaesque world, doing the least he can to survive. But what does survival even look like to this melancholy man? A spare handle of vodka in the closet, a stack of books by the toilet, and a penchant for the profane and grotesque. Armed with these alone, Redstone's poems still find humor in the absurd and a strange sort of comfort in his own self-destruction.
