Publisher's Synopsis
Definitely not safe for work. A collection of stories and poems recounting drug-fueled sexual misadventures, half-remembered war stories from the streets of north Texas, the search for Grace through the purgative of hard work, and the dignity that rides along in the endless parade of human debris on the streets, which constitutes glimpses at a grim but cheerful memoir of a puer eternis, a prodigal son of Texas and the west sending maydays from his pig sty in a far off land called Periphery. There may be no Grace, no redemption. There may be no need. Our salvation is at hand.
From Dr. Popeye-X of The Toiletside Reader:
MO: always: says the same excuse when busted: "but officer! It's just the merest samplin'! Also known to proclaim, "It's only for medicinal purposes!"
