Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Thunderbird Inn chronicles the drug-addled misadventures of a man and his friend, Richard, on a transcontinental bender that bottoms out in the Florida panhandle. Fueled by cheap booze and various powders, the duo loiters on the fringes of a decaying America. The poems in the collection are often casket-shaped, not unlike shoebox time capsules.

Perhaps near an interstate, in valley stitched together with telephone wires.…
