Publisher Marketing:These are dark, end-times poems that Bash could have written, theyre that intimately observed and described. Theres a run-down small-town America here that Callahan looks at more carefully than most, uncovering the beauties and horrors of roadside motels, the ubiquity of ceiling fans, and a nacho machine that vomits gold. But there is a curious love about all of this, and friends who move alongside you when you pass through this book. And there is a magic to the close observation that redeems what is often squalid, like a contemporary American Georg Trakl, with just as many drugs.

Matthew Rohrer
