Driving the Lost Highway (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798988302261)

These poems hit where it hurts and score when it counts. The guy writes like an angel with its hair on fire. End of story. - John Yamrus, Author of nearly 40 books, the latest being Twenty Four Poems. Driving the Lost Highway goes from a rainy day cup of coffee and a purring catto a short suicide note, lonely men with stuffed unicorns for pets, then Christmas ghost memories with gone on family members, and includes more love than Hallmark could ever market. The poems read like daily prayers and ransom notes for missing hearts. They cheer for the most hopeless and forgotten underdogs and know that it's never about keeping score. They eschew anything mainstream, cookie cutter, or poems about wrens and snowy egrets, unless they're dying a day at a time, just like we are. Jeff Weddle's poems pack BAM!-POW!-metaphors, and this collection stands amongst the best poetry published this year. Dan Denton, union autoworker, poet and novelist These are cerebral poems that roll off the tongue and leave you smiling. Celebratory and castigatory, honest work. A delight to read. - Bree of Green Panda Press
