Writing that flows like a Tennessee Williams stage play, from haiku-size poems giving the reader a huge beauty-affirming smile to longer erotic tales that sink the reader deeper into their backstage seat.
C.R. Avery's charismatic second book, 38 Bar Blues, will knock out any reader that opens this musical gem of literature. A clear glimpse into a motel 50 miles out of town, an articulate, descriptive window into the life of a modern troubadour and the courage of a young father trying to keep the highway of diamonds shining while singing the song of innocence.
