description: This collection of thirty years’ worth of occasional poems and prose features Edward Dorn’s short fiction, stories populated with the working poor and the drifters, searchers, fugitives, Native Americans, and itinerant trailer-park families. It also includes the book-length poem, Recollections of Gran Apachería , a polemical, spiritual meditation on Geronimo, the Apaches, and their annihilation at the hands of European descendants. A third of the book consists of inflammatory essays, Gonzo travelogues, and idiosyncratic cultural analyses, and these, especially, find Dorn in fine witty, perverse, cantankerous, shocking.
