Publisher's Synopsis
Beautifully surreal poems of Hollywood, pet dinosaurs, and men made of razors.
Born of Midwest sensibilities and baked in the Los Angeles sun, Miles of Hallelujah is from acclaimed poet Rob Sturma, who under the nom de plume Ratpack Slim, navigated around the glum and sass of Hollywood, managing to find a strange romance inside its pounding rhythm.
Rob "Ratpack Slim" Sturma's poetry is a journey through the mind of one of the last hopeless romantics; it is cradled in the language of pop music and fantasy, always rounding the bend back to the poet's sense of longing. The language dances between the conceit of the literary and the how-ya-doin' nostalgia. With a foreword by acclaimed poet "Mighty" Mike McGee, this collection is made for people who didn't think they liked poetry and for modern poetry enthusiasts alike.
