Nothing Is Sacred (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781957034492)

Looking for something safe to read? Better look elsewhere. The poet laureate of the streets, Robert Ragan, assaults you with a Bible-sized collection of poetry that bends no knee, bows to absolutely no rules of decorum set up by the phony architects of "polite society." The collection is called Nothing Is Sacred, and the best metaphor to describe it is a middle finger jammed straight down your throat!

Praise for Robert Ragan: Robert Ragan is a fantastic storyteller with a refreshingly bold and unique poetic voice. Like his previous works, Nothing is Sacred presents modern problems and struggles in ways that are very personal, gritty, raw, brutal, and painfully honest. Whether writing about his battles with addiction, love found and lost, mental health challenges or when revealing other intimate aspects of his life - past and current - Ragan's latest offering provides his readers with a variety of experiences; some surrounded by regret, some self-reflective, while others expose profound moments surrounded by beauty.

- Jimmy Broccoli, author of Damaged, Boy, Rabbits, and the upcoming collection Failure

Robert Ragan's poetry is a gut-level exploration of life and love. The down-and-out, the winners and losers, and those just trying to survive all find their way into his poems. Each one takes the reader through life's dark places as well as those perfect moments. Ragan gets real about relationships, poverty, addiction, love, loss, and hope, and each poem is an emotional journey. His work stays with the reader and doesn't let go.

- Margot Kinberg, crime fiction author of the Joel Williams series and the Patricia Stanley series
