Subterranean Hum: Poems by David Ensminger and Peter Case (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615777689)

Subterranean Hum is a modern, vivid, and eclectic collaborative poetry book by writer, folklorist, drummer, and educator David Ensminger and Grammy nominated singer-songwriter Peter Case. As a core member of the indelible indie rock icons Nerves and Plimsouls, Case describes this collection as such: "The days pile up like snow drifts in Atlanta, & here we are-recombining & reclaiming the world from psychic & somnambulistic free-fall, one post-human block at a time: commuting on Interstate 10-winding through Exxon-lands Satanic Mills-learning to speak & see in the dark-driving with the lights on at noon in a Gulf Coast storm-writing in difficult circumstances-moments snatched ballpoint on three by five cards-seen from trains-planes-van windows & waiting room benches-throughout America, Australia & the U.K.-shared with each other & you for inspiration & to keep the words flowing-situations with friends & lovers-troubles & actions on the streets-who keeps the roads open if we're shut down? who keeps the language alive if we go silent? Subterranean Hum proclaims pockets of resistance-coming up from under-scattered lights seen from the sky in the small hours-& nevertheless, was composed for KICKS!"
