Author and exploratory poet Francisco Ambrosio Figueroa III puts on display a variety of captured poems from the North East. In Maudlin, Figueroa explores and mechanizes the concept of sentimentality to suffocate the modern verse and remind the reader that the irregular subversions which bring forth what we call "new" are always induced from the wellspring of the ordinary, the regular, and the established. Maudlin is a catalog of emotionality and a reminder that dignity can be found in any state of consciousness.
