""...A
wild, richly-detailed road trip...." -Anodyne
This collection of poems and stories is a journey among the
dispossessed and rootless of end-of-century America-from the trailer
parks and motels of the rural Southwest and Deep South to the cellblocks
of San Quentin; from the skid rows of San Francisco and L.A. to the soft
netherworld of American expat enclaves and "tourist ghettoes"
in China and Southeast Asia, where self-exiled Americans sit among the
ghostly remnants of war and refugees sit in fetid camps waiting to
become Americans. As told from the point-of-view of a solitary American
soul, it is at one time a dream of America, and a lament for America's
failure to live up to that dream.
