Ultimately, Rudy’s work rises above the chaos to offer a fresh and positive perspective of shared humanity and beauty.Ģ018 Goodreads Choice Awards Finalist I’ll Fly Away Helium is filled with work that is simultaneously personal and political, blending love poems, self-reflection, and biting cultural critique on class, race and gender into an unforgettable whole.
Rudy’s poems and quotes have been viewed and shared millions of times as he has traveled the country and the world performing for sell-out crowds. Helium is the debut poetry collection by internet phenom Rudy Francisco, whose work has defined poetry for a generation of new readers.
