520    Helium is the debut poetry collection by Internet phenom 
       Rudy Francisco, whose work has defined poetry for a 
       generation of new readers. 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 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. Ultimately, Rudy's
       work rises above the chaos to offer a fresh and positive 
       perspective of shared humanity and beauty.
