Publisher Marketing: These are dark, end-times poems that Bashō could have written, they’re that intimately observed and described. There’s a run-down small-town America here that Callahan looks at more carefully than most, uncovering the beauties and horrors of roadside motels, the ubiquity of ceiling fans, and a nacho machine that “vomits gold.” But there is a curious love about all of this, and friends who move alongside you when you pass through this book. And there is a magic to the close observation that redeems what is often squalid, like a contemporary American Georg Trakl, with just as many drugs.
—Matthew Rohrer
