20th Anniversary Edition of the most startling collection of poems ever published about the Ocean State. Autumn musings, graveyard happenings, bad behavior by Greek gods, and a general atmosphere of neo-Romantic rebellion make this a dangerous book.

Unknown to one another until the mid-1980s, poets Brett Rutherford and Pieter Vanderbeck had each been writing intense narrative and satirical poems about Russia and Eastern Europe for many years.
