Wholesale Yesterday's Playlist, by Ann Kammerer

Poetry, chapbook, 44 pages, from Bottlecap Features. This collection of narrative poetry centers on a relatable, flawed young woman in a decayed Midwestern city as she navigates the rocky shoals of her family, friends and lovers. Seeking redemption and hope, she finds a way forward in a world that feels confusing and filled with despair. In Yesterday’s Playlist, Ann Kammerer propels a central character from trailer parks to bars to the hazed freeways of Los Angeles via Greyhound Bus. Spanning the late 1970s and early 1980s, Kammerer’s debut chapbook draws on journalistic style to present mini-stories in free verse that ask readers to draw their own conclusions.
