In a collection of poems that moves from meditations on emotions to
struggles with a cancer diagnosis, from the comfortable world of
sun and sand to the jarring dark corners of the so, R. M. Ryan
offers us insights into the experience of living. The Lost Road
Adventures Club recalls the ephemera of times and places gone by: a
rosary pulled from an old coffee can in a small, shabby church; the
clicks of a record player needle at the end of a 45; dusty chalk
coating the hands of a teenage boy laden down with textbooks.
Though grounded in precise observation of the world as it is,
Ryan's poetry also offers the reader a boundless capacity for
imagined adventure: ""Why shouldn't this road // outside of Verona,
Wisconsin / / be called Epic Lane?"" he asks. ""Poems start // from
everywhere."" Sometimes lighthearted and sometimes disheartening,
his poems travel across the years as they help us reach a new
understanding of what it means to be human.
