This is a wounded land pocked with volcanic rock, coyotes, and plow-ripped \/ floury soil that, like the mythic Old West, declines and crumbles \/ to blue rock suburban driveway gravel and double-wide farmhouses. In these stark and masterfully-wrought scenes-most crafted in chiseled tanka-like five-line poems-we get a glimpse into this microcosm of America through Shuttleworths astute, terse, and always human observations. In Straight Ahead we hear the twenty-first century lament of the exile in the Western wilderness.- Barbara Brinson Curiel, author, Mexican Jenny and Other Poems, winner of the 2012 Philip Levine Prize\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68077908230432,"sku":"NEW069280997X","price":18.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71EinAq4BZL.jpg?v=1793470958","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/straight-ahead-069280997x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
