Stan Rogal's second novel is the story of one writer's journey through the urban wilderness. Taking the form of a writer's journal, this is a gross collection of entries, observations and letters to the editor, a scatological scrapbook of philosophical musings, literary meanderings, quotes, misquotes, contradictions and criticisms and a kaleidoscope of perversions. The novel excavates the meaning of love in the impenetrable city. At the same t...

This is an ecstatic journey through the seamy underbelly of a fading, unnamed town populated with seemingly hollow, anonymous souls. Taking place over the span of one night, this series of linked poems gives us glimpses into the lives of unlikely urban saints on their individual quests for personal humanity and spiritual redemption.
