Books by Wolfgang Carstens

The Asylum Floor is a yearly anthology dedicated to honest, inspired writing in all its forms. This issue has 110 pages of poetry, fiction, art, and comics by Jack Micheline, Matt Borczon, Catfish McDaris, Wolfgang Carstens, Janne Karlsson, Dave Roskos, K.W. Peery, Victor Clevenger, Adrian Manning, George Anderson, Ryan Quinn Flanagan, Mike Mahoney, and its editor Brenton Booth.

The poems in Hell and High Water offer the gritty reality of a poet, husband, provider, father and shady romantic wrestling with life's responsibilities and his own primal urges. From the familiar dinner table to disastrous family vacations and mail order sex toys, Wolfgang Carstens presents us with vulnerability, humor, rawness, regret and the rejoicing in twenty-five years of intimacy with another as no other poet can. Carstens has wickedly disguised Hell and High Water as a twisted yet tender guide for the rest of us in maintaining the wildness among minivans, mortgages and matrimony.
