Flickering Lives

Victor Talamini's debut poetic memoir is as joyous and painful, as mysterious as memorable, as life itself. Flickering Lives captures the longings of life in the inner-city, the violence and cruelties, but also opportunity waiting for those who want to be set free.



Raised in the urban jungle, Victor endured and observed life from a place of turbulence and misguided choices, loneliness and isolation. Yet through his experiences he found that hope and beauty can be found even from the curb.



Poetic and powerful, Flickering Lives will touch hearts and minds, young and old. It encourages the reader to transcend loneliness amidst the masses, to navigate life, and recognize consequences to actions. The poetry promises to lift your spirit and take you deeper into beauty.
