A tasty yet experimental recipe of creative memoir in poetic prose cooked up for your consumption - one letter at a time.
Alphabet Soup, A. Gregory Frankson's first full-length foray into the world of creative non-fiction, is a poetic exploration of the deeper meaning to be found by stirring up the depths of one's most personal lived experiences. It is twenty-six letters of memoir that dive deeply into the scalding heat of memory through a thematic approach that recalls and reframes love, death, joy, sorrow, victory, devastation, and more, then serves it piping hot in tantalizing doses to sate voracious literary appetites.
Using prose that is by turns startling, revelatory, humorous, sorrowful, and triumphant, this authoritative compilation of introspections on the nature of living engages the mind and heart in the difficult, unending work of grappling with one's past in the present with the hope it can help to create a more satisfying future.
