In Dead Cars in Managua so many things happen: a bug rides an ice cube, a squirrel takes responsibility, a piece of steak dreams it's a dog, and the detective grows more lost. Stuart Ross's sixth full-length poetry collection presents his most unsettling surrealistic observations to date. This book gathers together an absurdist Baedeker of image-driven prose poems about Managua, a blanched and incandescent sequence of affecting narrative poems about hospitals, and a selection of action-packed surrealist poems where Ross shows his experimental New York School cards like never before. Dead Cars in Managua showcases Ross's unique ability to dissolve our common-sense understanding of the world, and distil a more potent and pleasurable truth from the remains of sense and reason.
