Kevin Quigley's new collection of poetry examines the dark crossroads wherelove and terror intersect. Otherworldly horrors pervade in "Fissure" and"Men With Tails" as maniac narrators hold court in "Meat Dumpster," "ScumGrinder," and "Exodus." Brutality lies at the center of "Slop Hovel" and "Pulling Teeth," while other kinds of pain comprise the wistful sketches "The Last Phone Booth in L.A." and "Thyme." The whimsy of "Danish Nation"and "Christine Again" can only hold the brightness for so long before thedepths of human depravity in "Turpentine." As in his previous book of poems, Foggy at Night in the City, Quigleychannels his mordant obsessions dark romance, psychosis, destruction, andLos Angeles into incisive, often chilling poetry and verse. Surf's Updives in deeper, and finds only darkness beneath the waves.
