This book captures the intensity of absence in the most profound and beautiful way. Ralph Monday is a remarkable wordsmith. Empty Houses and American Renditions will trigger emotions you never knew you could feel. —Jessica Bell, publisher of Vine Leaves Literary Journal Reading Ralph Monday's Empty Houses and American Renditions is oddly like re-experiencing a vaguely similar version of your own life. The memories may be slightly different but the nostalgia these poems invoke is tangible. You might find yourself saying, after experiencing his memories “I don’t remember it exactly that way”, completely forgetting they weren’t your memories to begin with. That is the power of these poems. The feelings they leave you with are your feelings. That is until you get to the second half of the book when the rest of the world and all of its history come rushing in. Pop culture and ancient characters dance together like the span of centuries never existed. It’s seamless. This is the book of your life. You may want to bring extra air for the elephant. —Rick Lupert, publisher of PoetrySuperhighway.com Ralph Monday has a way with words that one always remembers. Empty Houses and American Renditions is a must-read! —Stephen Jarrell Williams, editor of Dead Snakes

Ralph Monday’s collection of poetry feels like a postcard from a by-gone era By matt hundley Ralph Monday’s collection of poetry feels like a postcard from a by-gone era. The haunting ghost of 1950s America permeates these poems with an enigmatic sadness that wavers between lose and being lost. In the first half, “Empty Houses”, Monday constructs sensory portraits that invoke the sullen solitude of long stored memories caked in the musty leather smell of photo albums buried in the attic of a lost relative. There is nobility in those layers of dust. Part 2, “American Renditions”, bares a similar stamp of melancholy laden remembrance, however this longing is for a reconnection, not with a person, but an entire culture. The poems become waving postcards from the beach you never spent a Summer at or perhaps the knowing smile of the not-so- innocent pin-up beauty. They flicker by like 8mm film reels captured on manicured lawns by Kodak brownies.Ralph Monday has a distinctly unique voice that will assure these poems the recognition they deserve.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. 5 stars. By Seth This collection of poems by Ralph Monday is one of the most exciting and refreshing poetry publications to come along in a long while. The use of language, imagery, metaphor is extraordinary. The book is divided into two parts. Part I "Empty Houses" is a tour de force of the themes of memory and imagination. The reader is swept along in a swirl of images depicting loss that is universal. Part II "American Renditions" also concerns memory, but in an entirely different way. Here the reader will encounter many American themes in time and space that are deftly handled with the skill of a master of language. Mr. Monday is a voice to be reckoned with.At over 133 pages the book is large for poetry, but well worth the price. Highly recommended, this book will be remembered for years to come.

He has painted vivid imagery of another era using words as his brush and the page as his canvas. I would highly encourage you to get transported through this enchanting collection of poems.
