First published 1986
In a haze of rum and regret, a lone passenger rides the club car, watching the world blur by. Paulette Jiles' collection captures the fleeting moments and fading illusions of a life in transit, where the search for purpose becomes a dance with fate. From the gritty urban underbelly to the boundless promise of open rails, these poems bear witness to the siren song of the open road and the universal need to find one's place in a world that rarely slows down.
