Black State Cars (Salmon Poetry)

The voice of this well sustained and consistently strong collection is unusually urban. Cosmopolitan in the real sense of the word; its strength is in its landscape and structure. Starting with a variant of the Shipping News and weaving through locations like Athlone; Connolly Station, Dublin; Berlin, and Russia, the writer shows his ability to make each place his own as he brings the reader through his multi-faceted world of imagination and place.""-Joe Woods
