Top of the Rock for the new year is
The Great American Road Show, edited by JV Brummels & Jim Reese and published
by
Logan House Press.
"No one poet travels the entirety of the road that is American poetry. We stop for gas
or pie or a flat tire or because we can't keep our eyes open any longer. We pause to
fork up the crumbs from our plate, or we're distracted in the midst of looking for all
the pieces of the jack. While we sleep on some hard motel bed, other travelers pass us
in the night. This is a community unto itself, but the members survive in a larger
culture. We get off the road for a while or forever. A poem begins and that poem
ends. What goes on forever is the road. What never ends — can't end as long as one
voice speaks out its vision — is poetry." — JV Brummels
