This collection of thirty years' worth of occasional poems and prose features Edward Dorn's short fiction, stories populated with the working poor and the dispossessed: drifters, searchers, fugitives, Native Americans, and itinerant trailer-park families. It also includes the book-length poem, Recollections of Gran Apacheria, a polemical, spiritual meditation on Geronimo, the Apaches, and their annihilation at the hands of European descendants. A third of the book consists of inflammatory essays, Gonzo travelogues, and idiosyncratic cultural analyses, and these, especially, find Dorn in fine form: witty, perverse, cantankerous, shocking.
