Publisher's Synopsis
About the Author
Carly Bryson lives in Houston, Texas and writes poetry and prose about cracked dirt, the desert, lonesome highways, dirty rotten wars, nasty city air, pending dystopia and the frailty of the human condition. Reviews "Carly Bryson has accomplished a lot in a short amount of geological print, and online time. Carly's original poetry doesn't hesitate to "blow dirt in your mouth..." as she continues her literary ascent soaring beyond underground kingpins, and entrenched academic carnivores alike." David S. Pointer, poetry editor for As You Were: The Military Review "No sentimental drivel to stain your tea cosy in Carly Bryson's new book of poems. In a voice tinged with both weariness and worldliness, we are allowed glimpses of a consciousness shaped by an unremitting land, an intelligence carving out its own territory, a clear-eyed poet taking stock of her world. When she's got something to say to you, your ears will be ringing from the crack of the bullwhip upside your head." Doc Sigerson, nonfiction editor at RED FEZ "Perceptive, spirited and cognizant of the intensity of mankind's struggle between certainty and uncertainty, Bryson introduces potency and passion in this beautifully crafted must read collection." Shirley Howard Hall, Author of One Day, Listen, Embrace and One Day You'll Listen
