66 Galaxie: Poems
Summary
66 galaxie is a surgical excision of the American Dream from the dire facts of American reality, a journey through a surreal yet familiar landscape in that most American of tropes, the automobile. This collection combines verses in a cut-up mode, poems drawing on film scenes and stills, and short, vivid haiku forms to create a sensual and breathtaking tour of a ghostly map, one that is "splendid, nightmarish," and descriptive of the twists and stops of modern America.
