A blend of crime/noir, and urban poetry, River Street Rhapsody is an unflinching look at poverty, substance abuse, love, hope, and death in the author’s hometown of Santa Cruz, CA.
“River Street Rhapsody is a bleak and brilliant portrait of lives unmoored in the darkest corners of modern America.”—HLR, author of History of Present Complaint.
“Gorgeous in its bleakness and in its moments of disarming compassion, this collection presents a world stripped to the bone.”—William R. Soldan, author of So Fast, So Close, and Undone Valley.
“Portentous, poignant, and without pretense. You'll remember these poems.”—Gerald So, Editor of The Five-Two.
