Off Main Street Barnstormers, Prophets and Gatemouth's Gator Essays

Whether he's fighting fires, passing a kidney stone, hammering down I-80 in an 18-wheeler, or meditating on the relationship between cowboys and God, Michael Perry draws on his rural roots and footloose past to write from a perspective that merges the local with the global. Ranging across subjects as diverse as lot lizards, Klan wizards, and small-town funerals, Perry's writing in this wise and witty collection of essays balances earthiness with poetry, kinetics with contemplation, and is regularly salted with his unique brand of humor.Perry, Michael is the author of 'Off Main Street Barnstormers, Prophets and Gatemouth's Gator Essays', published 2005 under ISBN 9780060755508 and ISBN 0060755504.
