Travel a picturesque and often harrowing road through these narrative poems to encounter the quiet survivors and overlooked places that have fallen through the cracks in the American Dream. Meet a battered wife wearing a celebratory dress to her husband's funeral, and a fed-up woman who shoots a complaining non-smoker at Denny's. With empathy for the human condition, poet Juliette Torrez (Last Gasp staffer and publisher of the award-winning Kapow! books) captures the absurdity, hypocrisy, and ultimately the beauty of the places and people she has known. Cover painting by Mark Ryden.
