Opis

-It is my personal opinion that Burroughs, Kerouac & Rimbaud never died. A highly advanced alien civilization abducted them, extracted their DNA, & genetically engineered Texas Outlaw Poet, Jeff Callaway. His first collection of poems, -Party Fouls-, is a harrowing road-trip through the fragmented Texas psyche of an artist who has truly survived a -season in hell-. His -graduate degree- in poetry was earned in the bloodcurdling corridors of Huntsville State Prison. Like Jack Henry Abbott, Paul Verlaine & other -outsider artists- before him - he has brought his -prison ink lessons- and a life spent-on-the-margins into gut-wrenching redemptive cinematic glory. I don't read poetry. And I read this electric collection in one sitting.- -C.M. Talkington
