A tribute to nostalgia that projects reverence for Universal Monsters, Battlestar Galactica, The Incredible Hulk, The Golden Girls, Pee-wee Herman, and, of course, Dolly Parton. In work that The Boston Globe calls funny and celebratory, Powers, a child of the 80s whose life was informed by movies and television, also imagines the home lives of the castaways on Gilligan's Island. The lyric and narrative poems in this third collection erupt with the kind of adventures, both real and imagined, that any boy coming of age in that decade longed for, and serve as paeans to wanderlust in the way they flicker and shake around the world, to land in unexpected places like Ireland, Pigeon Forge, the Rocky Mountains, and Jekyll Island. His third collection, Powers' poems and short stories have appeared in over a hundred journals and anthologies, including Shenandoah, Natural Bridge, Copper Nickel, and Smartish Pace. He is currently Professor of English at Gordon State College in Georgia.
