A Masterpiece For You is a collection of poetry that is, at once, the yearn for the life we have always imagined and the thankfulness for the wonder that our life has been. It is not a book that we are meant to grow old with, but instead one that stays forever young with us. In it, you will find a tug between success, tragedy, love, hate, lust, nature, society, God, existentialism, poverty, excess, dirty debauchery, and pretty intellectual philosophy. This is all for you and the infinity found in the brevity of life. Advanced Praise for A Masterpiece For You " A Masterpiece for You is a time capsule of life's beauties and messes expressed in metaphors and vision. Luis Blandon blends and balances the art of living with the stickiness of feeling, delving into the in-between through imagery and vulnerability. One of my favorite poetry collections of all time, A Masterpiece For You is medicine for the soul you didn't know you needed." - Flor Ana, Author of Vocabulary Lessons (in Love & Limerence) "In A Masterpiece for You , Luis Blandon weaves a collection that balances youthful dreams with the hard truths of adulthood. These poems explore the tension between ambition and failure, love and loss, innocence and experience. With raw vulnerability, Blandon captures the push and pull of life's contradictions-reminding us that even amidst struggle, hope and joy persist." - Renzo Del Castillo, Author of Still "Luis Blandon's A Masterpiece For You is a raw and unfiltered collection that blends prose, poetry, and visual art to create a deeply emotional narrative. With striking vulnerability and a unique rhythm, each piece pulls readers into the depths of love, nostalgia, and self-reflection." - Elizabeth Lake, Author of Lipstick on the Wall "Luis Blandon wears his truth like a favorite pair of jeans; his pockets are turned out and the fit is just right. A Masterpiece for You honors the tenderness, joy, pride, regret, hunger, and fullness of feeling that make life worth getting dressed for." - Katie Scruggs Galloway, Author of Still and Still Moving
