In his third poetry collection, Poetry and Other Poisons, L�opold Figaro transforms his life experiences into subtle poems that focus on the eternal circle of love, lust, pain and desire. Those feelings have no borders nor rules, so he is not afraid to mix different languages and ideas to create contemporary pieces with a touch of an Afro Caribbean style.
"Poetry and Other Poisons" explores how love and passion can be so tempting yet so obsessively poisonous at the same time. These feelings drop in on you unexpectedly and stay without asking for permission. That's when Art becomes the only salvation and hope. That's when words are used to reach the depths of existence. That's when artists feel both the most anguished and the most accomplished. That's when this book was born.
L�opold Figaro takes his readers on a magical journey of real feelings. And it is not only the ideas that matter to him but also the presentation. Being an artistic soul who values aesthetics, he uses different forms of poetry to paint a clear picture and showcase the endless opportunities that poetry possesses. His gift of presenting startling words and invoking feelings in the most natural way captivates readers and leaves them wanting more.
