    About The Book

    « These are vivid, visceral poems about coming of age in a place ‘where the Ferris Wheel / was the tallest thing in the valley,’ where a boy would learn ‘to fire a shotgun at nine and wring a chicken’s neck / with one hand by twirling the bird and whipping it straight like a towel.’ … In spite of such hardscrabble cruelties — or because of them — there is also a real tenderness in these poems, the revelations of bliss driving along an empty highway ‘like opening a heavy book, / letting the pages feather themselves and finding a dried flower.’ … The poet has a gift for rendering his world in cinematic images… In short, these poems are the stuff of life itself, ugly and beautiful, wherever or whenever we happen to live it. » —Martin Espada
