Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. Nonfiction. Essay. Visual Art. With essay, elegy and lyric, Broc Rossell braids a dialogue with history and casts new meaning from the myriad voices and visions that people this book. As he writes: this is a history / working its way down the stem. It is through poetic utterance that reality and the world are finally revealed. ALAMEDA is a wonder. --Peter Gizzi
