Everything from politics to political correctness, late nights to fire ants, gets caught in his visionary cross-hairs. These are poems that make you smile, make you scream, make you weep, then make you smile yet again.

Kerouac's road lasted only a few short years. Dom's has lasted a lifetime. His work is an unpretentious reflection that puts a keen perception upon that which he has done and seen. - Carter MonroeThis collection brings together two of Dominic Albanese's earlier chapbooks - both out of print and difficult to find.
