Описание: In Electric Snakes, Adrian C. Louiss thirteenth poetry collection, no one is spared his critical eye, including himself. These powerful and often humorous poems cover myriad subjects: Trump, music, zombies, Jimmy Johns, childhood, caller ID, venetian blinds, magpies, love, and Mom. --From the Editor
Louiss rough roads travel from Little Big Horn to Standing Rock, pass bomb trains while: Im awakened by American greed / speeding through prairie night In Snow Flake, Minnesota we all want to live long enough to ask: What to do, what to do with my ancient body? A soot-black locomotive is roaring through my brain. --Heid Erdrich, Editor of New Poets of Native Nations, an anthology of poetry by extraordinary Native writers
Adrian Louiss observations are keen in this world gone wrong. Yet, urgent moments of beauty emerge through the fog of stacked years and memories. You will want to hang out with Louiss perceptive poems. They will become old friends to hunker down with on long winter nights, when its too cold to do anything but sing along, when even out of tune will do.
--Joy Harjo, Mvskoke poet and musician
