Rumble Strip

by Jason Tandon

"You have to travel Rumble Strip with an empty satchel and an open heart to see into the specific depths of nature coinciding with man s often destructive symbols, but the reward is that you can see it all through a trained poet s eyes that show you how to step, how to breathe, and how to live without ever suffering what befalls us all in the end." --Paul B. Roth, editor & publisher, The Bitter Oleander Press

It has actually been about a month since I read this. I remember enjoying it, but am going to have to revisit it. It's been a bad couple of months. Reading has, unfortunately, taken a back seat.
