Poetry. "PIMA ROAD NOTEBOOK, Keith Ekiss's remarkable first collection, contrasts the finite imagination of the American dream with the enduring serenity and mystery of the Sonoran Desert, where the ridiculous--fairways and greens--compete with the sublime--saguaros and palo verdes. No one has written poems with such a dispassionate and calm eye about the Cadillac desert as Ekiss. Free of sentiment and dream trance, Ekiss is a fair witness to one of America's most sundered lands"--Michael Collier.
