Dynamite (Frost Place Chapbook Competition Winner)

Poetry. Winner of the 2015 Frost Place Chapbook Competition. The poems of Anders Carlson-Wee's debut chapbook DYNAMITE flare with the volatile heat of discovery and loss as they follow the journeys of a speaker whose wanderlust leads him to the fringes of the American experiment. Whether hopping freight trains with his brother or sleeping in the homes of strangers, the speaker is haunted by the tragic and oddly gracious people he meets. Selected by Jennifer Grotz as the winner of The Frost Place Chapbook Competition, Anders Carlson-Wee's DYNAMITE rides into the unmappable territories and wide expanses of the spirit.
