Head Pollution, Grundon’s first published volume of poetry, is an unapologetic look at society’s dark side—sex, drugs, alcohol, and abuse—captured in a meandering, lyrical head trip. Here, Grundon narrates a journey through melancholy dreams and nightmares. Turn off your preconceived notions, let go, and get your head ready!
Dark, experimental, and groovy, J. Travis Grundon’s poetry has been published in Skyway Journal of Poetry, Sledgehammer Lit, The Daily Drunk, and Punk Noir, to name a few. This collection also features short stories previous published in EconoClash Review and 4:20 NOIR.
A mostly poetry collection (with a few short stories tacked on at the end), Grundon evokes the humanity of living on the wrong side of town. There's a streak of black humor that runs throughout, keeping it from getting weighed down in nothing but misery. Well worth dipping into.
