Adrian Ernesto Cepeda's poetry book FLASHES & VERSES...BECOMING ATTRACTIONS is a book that took me into a world of pop culture, passion, erotic love, pop icons, and Latin love. I enjoyed this collection, this array of poems that narrates diverse stories of common themes; namely, how love, romance, and ideology affects our daily struggles. His romantic language and images leave you wanting more and more. This is a poignant, passionate, poetry book that is long overdue. If you love to read Neruda, this is the book for you. From rock to the brat pack, to pop music, music is a theme throughout the book. Cepeda has many muses, but you can tell the heart of this book lies in the spiritual connection the poet has with human beings, whether they are pop icons or his first lover, the attractions are the love and bond of human emotion and desire.

Sensual, rhythmic, grooving. Cepeda loves music, and it comes through in every poem. From Sinatra to The Doors, he explores this passion in lyrical voice. Warning, though: these poems will call up memories of songs that will leave you with earworms for days. Good stuff.

A collection with rhythm, love, passion, and music. Live a little and get this book of poetry, by a powerful up and coming voice. Adrian Ernesto Cepeda is not afraid to expose his heart on the page, which is something I value in poetry. This is a book to read again and again.
