Volume 1 of the Dog On A Chain Press Lantern Lit series, including prominent voices of modern day contemporary poets emerging and existing amongst the extensive underground, poetry for the small wars of the subtle apocalypse. James H. Duncan, Mat Gould, and John Dorsey are included in this book with works of poem novella, a consistent grip of language and image, place and occurrence, along with resolve, restitution and even a stark slap of revolution...the hammering down of our own massacre, hand over hand, heart against heart, spirits erupted from the volcano itself.

this book is full of poems from a man at ease with the daily task, greasing the wheels with a dirty rag just to grease the wheels, an awakening of age itself, poems engaged with the sensibility of the seasons.The improvisations of life and the reliable/ever present necessity to do so. A nod to the recurring, the rise and fall we encounter throughout this constant revolution and Goulds usual slight humor revved up by the witness himself trudging through yet "another small war." Ah yes...least we forget the subtle apocalypse.
