In a knockout debut collection haunted by shame, violence and the darkest of our human origins, Anders Carlson-Wee mines nourishment and holiness from our depths.
Anders Carlson-Wee píše s neuveriteľnou úprimnosťou a humorom o zložitosti moderného života. Jeho poézia sa zameriava na tému práce, tela a snahy nájsť zmysel v každodenných situáciách. S ostrosťou a hlbokým porozumením pre ľudskú skúsenosť zachytáva napätie medzi ambíciami a realitou. Jeho jazyk je svieži a energický, často využíva nečakané obrazy na preskúmanie spoločenských tlakov a osobných túžob.

Through the perspective of a young drifter, the poems explore the fringes of American life, highlighting themes of survival and vulnerability. The narrator's journey involves hopping freight trains, hitchhiking, and scavenging, revealing a visceral connection to forgotten places and the search for faith. A diverse cast of strong-willed characters emerges, enriched by monologues from the strangers who offer shelter and reflections on the narrator's estranged family, all captured with keen observation and emotional depth.
