Poetry, chapbook, 28 pages, from Bottlecap Features. Excellent Eggs and Hot Dogs is both a polemic on a civilized life, and an escapist's cry of despair. Beginning in a dreary Midwest, the reader will follow an uncomfortable narrator as they attempt to find for themselves a more fulfilling existence. Exploring themes of industrialism, impermanence, aesthetic dissonance, and ultimately dereliction, this collection of poems amounts to little more than the whinings of a tired vagrant. This collection is, in essence, a documentation of a perspective that evolves in our narrator as they travel across the United States. Jaded by the working world, they attempt to flee to a simpler life in the desert, only to find that the heaviest baggage that one carries is quite unrelated to physical location.
