Prolific author and poet Holstad has…continued to maintain his somewhat cult-favorite status as the dark troubadour of the rebellious underbelly of contemporary American poetry.
Much of this poetry can be instantly and favorably compared to the poems of Bukowski or some of the messier-around-the-edges work of particular beat poet extraordinaires, such as Kerouac and Burroughs. Holstad, in many ways, carries the torch of such heavyweight literary forbearers into present-day American poetics. For readers who enjoy such “edges-of-life,” funky, non-mainstream material, the poems in this collection offer many deliciously nightmarish treats from a celebrated contemporary trickster-poet.
