The subtlety of life's joys, loves and sorrows are captured in Intricate Illusions, the debut poetry collection from Kyle Banta. Using both plain and imaginitive speech, readers are encouraged to look inward to discover their own vulnerability, spiritual natural and childlike wonder.

Touching on subjects like first love, lost love, individuality and the passing of time, each poem captures the fleeting moments we all experience and which stick with us, shaping us into the people we become.
