Book synopsis

This title presents molten and musical poetry from an acclaimed Southern writer. Live from the Homesick Jamboree is brave, brash, tragic, and ultimately comic - a Southern Gothic ode to 'the paltry heart that must get gutted sometimes and knotted and lit-up while sodden'. The non-traditional narrative traces a movement from South to North, exploring along the way the death of innocence, motherhood, sexuality, and the rewards and costs of marriage and other forms of familial 'hoodwink and swindle'. Idiosyncratic, expansive, self-incriminating, and edgy, the language here flies fast and feral.
