"Azevedo delivers white knuckle gut punches wrapped in velvet. His words strike hard, fast and can be brutal, but there's luminous revelations to be held because in-between punches he leaves you with enough feeling and respite to breathe it all in a cinematic multisensory manner, be wary though...you're going to want more." -Mike Zone Editor In Chief Dumpster Fire Press/ Author Shedding Dark Places (almost) "Rob Azevedo is a poet with a voice of electric thunder. His poems strike brilliance with distinct, colorful imagery. Powerful and right to the bone, his writing style feels honest, experienced and wise." -- Mathew Bowers, writer, musician and spiritual alchemist. "Rob's poetry is an amazing balance of raw and eloquence. With a pen of graceful grit he slices into his reader's mind." -- Aphasiana, poet at allpoetry.com
