Synopsis

This collection harbors surreal visions, fantastic meetings, and everyday blessings. Freshen your palate with Millions of Moonlight Stars, then dive in to Suicidal Mermaid. Coulson’s humor and humanity exude soul from every page. Little miracles abound. He is a provocative rabble-rouser of words with his heart firmly planted in the pathos of pain and the jig of joy. Coulson’s poetic sensibility lies situated between a Kansas corn silo, the Mississippi blues crossroads, the grinning moon, and the third rail of the L train.

What people are saying about Chris Coulson's previous work ...

The Midwest Hotel is new and funny and wise, all the things a poem should be, and all those things American poetry has become. It's Beat. Coulson plays sky pilot and points his prose toward the house of the rising sun. He writes, "... you wake up and your brain feels like it's between radio stations." The lines are personal. I can't imagine this book surviving the Iowa Writers' Workshop, which is a damn good thing. This guy writes his own stuff: unapproved, non-filtered, and as down hard as Charles Bukowski, and not the movie version. -- Jeff Shear, author of the Jackson Guild Saga

In The Midwest Hotel, poet Chris Coulson has created a variety of personae that teach and delight a reader. From a woman wanting her husband to join her in a dance to a recovered alcoholic, who describes "those years were like living in a cave," he carves characters with wit and powers of observation akin to Mark Twain's. This work will catch your emotions. Be prepared to chuckle, laugh out loud, or shed a tear. -- Lindsey Martin-Bowen, author of Inside Virgil's Garage and Standing on the Edge of the World

Chris Coulson's words make you angry and sad, laugh out loud happy, and mostly stare at the page in astonishment telling yourself the world he describes, so tantalizingly familiar, simply can't be. -- Peter Schuyler, writer and filmmaker

The novel Nothing Normal in Cork was a lot of fun. Funny, poignant, deeply introspective, and yet hope-filled. The writing is lyrical, full of fresh imagery and James Joyce-like streams of consciousness. Mr. Coulson happily breaks many of the normally expected rules relating to point of view. Expect to inhabit every character in the book at one stage or another, including a pepper-colored terrier. Yet, as though to prove the adage of the exception proving the rule, the head-hopping works and delivers a kaleidoscope of viewpoints and internal perspectives that add colorful layers to the tale. Highly unusual, and highly recommended. -- Pete Barber, author of Nanostrike, When a Warrior Comes Home, Love Poison, and MAYA: Symbiogenesis Book One
