<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A spiritual journey across the railways and backroads of the American West.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Set against a landscape of rail yards and skate parks, Kai Carlson-Wee's debut collection captures a spiritual journey of wanderlust, depression, brotherhood, and survival. These poems--a "verse novella" in documentary form--build momentum as they travel across the stark landscapes of the American West: hopping trains through dusty prairie towns, swapping stories with mystics and outlaws, skirting the edges of mountains and ridges, heading ever westward to find meaning in the remnants of a ruined Romantic ideal. Part cowboy poet, part prophet, Carlson-Wee finds beauty in the grit and kinship among strangers along the road.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Kai Carlson-Wee is the author of <i>Rail</i> (BOA, 2018). He has received fellowships from the MacDowell Colony, the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, the Sewanee Writers' Conference, and his work has appeared in <i>Ploughshares, Best New Poets, TriQuarterly, Gulf Coast, </i> and <i>The Missouri Review</i>, which awarded him the 2013 Editor's Prize. His photography has been featured in <i>Narrative Magazine</i> and his poetry film, <i>Riding the Highline</i>, received jury awards at the 2015 Napa Valley Film Festival and the 2016 Arizona International Film Festival. With his brother Anders, he has co-authored two chapbooks, <i>Mercy Songs</i> (Diode Editions) and <i>Two-Headed Boy</i> (Organic Weapon Arts), winner of the 2015 Blair Prize. A former Wallace Stegner Fellow, he lives in San Francisco and is a lecturer at Stanford University.
