“Vigorous populist, surrealist, political
art from time-warped enclave.” —Andrei
Codrescu, Exquisite Corpse
“Editor Stephen Kessler brings together an
impressive galaxy of ‘escape artists,’ authors
who through love of language, imagination and clarity
of feeling help us identify and transcend the preposterous
prisons we daily make for ourselves or have foisted
upon us.” —San Francisco Chronicle Book Review
