ABOUT THE BOOK

These 8 new poems by the noted poet, story writer, and novelist, Adrian C. Louis, offer a glimpse into an existence that is hard-wired to truth, witness, and the many paradoxes of contemporary American life. 

26 copies have been hand-bound into cloth-covered boards. See Special Editions page for ordering information.

"Adrian C. Louis is a one-man wrecking crew who will change the face of poetry until we all wake up and honor him. No poet does what he does. No poet attempts what he attempts. His poetry is everything we were educated to turn our backs on because of the fear of facing American truths. His visions and choice of words are rhythmic, defiant, and timeless." 

—Ray Gonzalez
