DEFG is Volume 2 of The Alphabet Soup series by Aaron LaLux, the creator of Circular Pop Poetry—a style that blends rhythm, insight, and relevance into something entirely its own. This collection invites you to explore the raw, tangled threads of life, where meaning is found not in neat answers, but in the complexities that weave us together.

From Dalai Lama Spaceship to Gypsy Friends & Fig Leaves, LaLux creates 100 poems that pulse with emotion and thought. His words shift between moments of quiet longing, like Dreams of a King, and the vibrant energy of Don’t Kill Yourself (Life’s A Trip), capturing both the weight of existence and its fleeting beauty. Whether navigating the tangled truths of *Democratic Republic of America* or the peace in *Forgive Them*, LaLux connects the intimate and the universal, the personal and the grand.

The poems speak to our shared human experience—the struggles, joys, and contradictions we all face. Themes of family, politics, spirituality, and technology weave through the collection, as LaLux’s sharp observations and fluid language reflect a world that feels both deeply connected and disorientingly fragmented. Electric Dreams and Dharma Wheels pull us into surreal visions, while Espresso Yourself and Google Me offer lightness and humor, balancing the book's emotional weight.

DEFG doesn’t offer answers, but it asks the right questions—inviting you to look deeper, to find the beauty in contradictions, to explore how we navigate life’s constant uncertainty. It’s a book that doesn’t just reflect the world but invites you to see it differently, with all its rawness and wonder.

Welcome back to the soup. Stir well, let it simmer, and savor each moment of its chaos and clarity.
