Description

You've read the Southern Gothic novelists like Flannery O'Connor, right? Well Catlin is the upstate N.Y. Gothic poet. He focuses on the ne'er-do-wells, the stumblebums, the never-have- and never-will-bes with accuracy, potency, and pathos. Catlin, a retired bartender and small press legend, knows his subject well, and he ain't slumming. Bukowski would beam with pride, and might even be a bit jealous. --Doug Holder, Ibbetson Street Press Schenectady provides the charm & Alan Catlin provides the wit in these nature poems that Wendell Berry wouldn't write. It's not what the Chamber of Commerce wants you to hear, but it is the kind of gritty city poetry that's about your real neighbors. I've been hearing Alan read many of these poems at open mics & am glad to see them brought together in one place. But, I warn you that reading all the poems in one sitting will turn you into one of its characters. --Dan Wilcox, Host of the Third Thursday Reading in Albany NY, publisher, poet, and performance artist …like a long, sustained trumpet note: existential blues. i'm beat, man… --T. K. Splake, poet Backwater Graybeard Twilight
