Description
Thunderbird Inn chronicles a transcontinental road trip that descends into chaos in the Florida panhandle. The poems in this collection are intimate and unflinching, capturing the darker aspects of American life.
The narrator's addiction-fueled journey is marked by moments of tenderness and codependency with his companion, as well as a series of small crimes and reckless decisions. This is not a tale of recovery, but rather a exploration of the destructive power of routine and addiction.
Collin Callahan's poetry is a searing portrait of a decaying America, one that is both beautiful and horrific in equal measure. With its vivid observations of roadside motels and the people who inhabit them, Thunderbird Inn is a haunting and deeply human work.
