First collection of poems and short stories by Eric Morago, an acclaimed performance poet and slam champion from Southern California.

Feasting on Sky is a collection of poems that explores the complexity of mental health with a delicate balance of humor and heart. In his second full-length collection of poetry, Eric Morago shows the reader ghosts of all shapes and sizes, but in doing so, offers hope to the haunted by giving a clear flight plan for healing. "In the tradition of Robert Lowell and the Confessional Poets, Eric Morago mines the trauma of contemporary life and relationships to find his way (and redemption) in the poems of Feasting on Sky. His is a voice both personal and relevant to a generation: it raises pop culture to a higher standard with such poems as "Bigfoot's To-Do List" and "You're a Good Zombie, Charlie Brown"-yet underneath its sardonic humor we find tenderness in these poems and a road map to wisdom." -Laurel Ann Bogen "Like a fast-running, glistening stream, Eric Morago's poetry mesmerizes and refreshes. Chock full of marvelous similes, largely bemused in tone, Feasting on Sky gives me new cause to celebrate the antidotal effects of humor when mixed with anxiety, sadness, anger, infatuation. From the opening images of improbable flight to a closing image of "controlled crash," Eric Morago demonstrates that he knows how to "stick the landing." -Larry Colker "Feasting on Sky is a fine whisky-a collection of poems full of spirit. It is fire falling from the sky and smoke from a gun. It details the loves that span generations and the ghosts such loves leave behind. These poems pursue life's great pleasures and acquired tastes. Each page is worth the chase as the poems invite you to explore and indulge in life's diversity. Feasting on Sky has never tasted so good." -Nicelle Davis
