Red Suburb
Red Suburb portrays the neurotic beauty of a generation squeezed between the Baby Boomers and Generation X. These poems-ripe with love and wistfulness-scope the bright, innocent Kodak colors of suburbia, then twist like a kaleidoscope, distorting into the very un-American Dream of coming-of-age as a seer, a dreamer, a gay man, and a social iconoclast amidst the abject development of cul-de-sacs and manicured lawns.

Vow to Poetry
Vow to Poetry is a trumpet call that tears down the walls of prescribed creative processes. Some books are so forward-thinking that we don’t know how essential they are until they arrive. This stimulating mix of autobiography, interviews, essays on poetics, politics, and more, reveals a life dedicated to the imperatives of experimental poetry and cultural activism. You’ve seen the "safe" versions, now comes this unconventional, irreverent, transgressive volume. This is more than a "how to write" book- it is a "how to live the life of poetry" book.

Taking the Wall
The wildly popular sport of auto racing is a backdrop for exploration of the creative and destructive aspects of obsession. In farmhouses, mobile homes, and roadside trailer courts, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters all try to figure out how to keep their families running as smoothly as their cars. Taking the Wall is rich with details about racing and rural life, and richer yet in insight into that part of the human spirit that just doesn’t know how to quit.
