In this second volume of his "Road Rhymes" trilogy and sequel to
2011's "Hypnotizing Lines: Road Rhymes, Volume One," j.d.tulloch
reanimates a cast of characters unseen in one's daily stream: an
unknown television guest star fixated on a quest for celebrity, an
angry war vet bent on broadcasting his masculinity, and a
recovering crack addict whose wife chooses rock over life ... plus
ministers, hipsters, and half-naked strippers. Edited by
j.d.tulloch and published by his 39 West Press imprint, "Neutral
Receding Lines: Road Rhymes, Volume Two" occurs in the moment,
frolicking with rhythm and language in a chorus of ephemeral,
observational tales of consciousness and conscience that explore
the juxtaposition of fame and poverty, security and homelessness,
dreams and reality, and freedom and addiction.
In August 2010, j.d.tulloch and his reliable traveling companion, a
1997 Lincoln Town Car, embarked on what has evolved into a
fifty-thousand-plus mile journey, trekking westward--and then
eastward--on a noble quest of inspiration, an escapade of
adventure, in search of an American Dream that hearkened the
spirits of forgotten voyagers who beckoned him from afar as Horace
Greeley loudly whispered in his ear, "Go west, young man ... Go
west." "Hypnotizing Lines: Road Rhymes, Volume One," the
much-anticipated follow-up to j.d.tulloch's debut volume of poems,
"The Will to Resist: and psalms of anger, love & humanity,"
chronicles the first four months of his time on the road in poems
that root themselves in the American landscape.
In his first published collection of poetry, "The Will to Resist:
and psalms of anger, love & humanity," j.d.tulloch asks the
reader to momentarily transcend themselves and take a journey
through American life in search of the existence of a selfless love
that hides itself somewhere within the materialistic excess of an
American popular and corporate culture that seems to tame our will
to resist by teaching desire can become reality if one chases,
captures, and possesses everything possible, as if our spiritual
survival singularly subsisted on sadly serving selfish
individualism, narcissistic need, and egocentric fantasy. What ever
happened to the will to resist?
