Against the Dark: Road Poems
Benger and Sheldon team up for this split investigating the power of life on the road, with the focus of high beams on country roads and the squealing tires of sudden veering, these poems will take you for a ride you won't want to end. Gritty, potent and earnest, these two poets work together to create a wrenching tale.
