In the chapbook
poet Shane Lake
introduces a moving
and wild addition
to Story Time.
Equal parts fever dream
and small town anomaly,
this American
countryside tale feels
like a timeless fable
that could take place
inside of any decade.
It fits within
any city
down the way,
past the quiet windmills
and the dead cornfields,
right down
the street
from where
a toothless grandfather
watches over
the only gas
station for miles.
Shane Lake's seven
part poem was released
as a free PDF
through Boaat Press
and comes complete
with illustrations
from Meara Louise.
With black and white art
as well as a tale
ending (and a tail end)
in the dead of winter,
it's a perfect time
to crack this book open
and read before drifting
into your January slumber.
Your dreams will
thank you.
