Inspired by his belief that nature and mysticism held the secrets to life, Aaron Gilbreath went on a mind-expanding road trip with his best friend at age twenty. Listening to psychedelic music, bushwhacking off-trail, and downing everything from mushrooms to PCP, the people they met and the roads ahead of them blurred into a new sort of reality. A secondary landscape.

Review:
Origins are also on display in Aaron Gilbreath s A Secondary Landscape, a chapbook released recently via Future Tense. Here, we see Gilbreath at twenty on a road trip from Vancouver to Oregon, looking for transcendence in potentially problematic ways. There s a corker of an opening sentence: We reached the Canadian border at 2am with the PCP hidden in Dean s insulin syringes and the weed buried in the peanut butter. Gilbreath gets the tone exactly right: he s forthcoming about the process of searching that he went on a decade ago, even as he s honest about the fact that some of its characteristics may not have been wise. With his recent writings for The Paris Review (among others), Gilbreath has quickly become a writer whose every piece I savor. This chapbook, in just over 30 pages, offers a conscise version as to why. --Vol. 1 Brooklyn
