The End of America Book Fifteen

The End of America Book Fifteen is a long poem exploring the cityscape of San Diego California as it appeared between September 2015 and May 2016. Apartment complexes streets yards cranes boats bicycles windows coffee shops: the poem moves through these and other constructions of the landscape and encounters the creatures human and other who live among them. The poems meditative tone creates a calm into which deceptive or dangerous realities are always threatening to break. The observer is both separated from and entangled in the strangeness of place. Every image falls short of a description of whats there dusty green towel in the dirt hawk overhead.
