Description: "A book of road elegies and laments, travels from Oklahoma to the edges of the American continent through landscapes at once stark and lush, ancient and apocalyptic.  Each poem gives the collection a rich lyrical-dramatic texture.  Ultimately, these brave and luminous poems engage and shatter the boundaries of time, self, and continent."--Back cover.
