About this item
Book Synopsis A stark and lonely voice rings clear in Justin Carter's debut collection. Brazos teems with ghosts, bloodlines, and gas flares, tracing a "river cloaked in mud" that trudges toward the Texas Gulf Coast. In these poems, a complex Millennial coming-of-age story emerges amidst the grief for a place that seems to disappear while standing still-- always haunted by the ways "we've all been pulled under" the currents of violence, identity, and change. Review Quotes
"For all his love of occluded words, this assured debut gives readers reason to hope Carter will continue unoccluding his own." -- Little Village
