The Animal: Prose Poetics by Louis E. Bourgeois

Gritty and lyric, Bourgeois's writing entwines the earthy particulars of a remembered rural south, with surrealist dream images. His dark wit employs vernacular and mythic motifs to create an original universe. His is a voice to watch for in American poetry. -Celia Rabinovitch, author of Surrealism and the Sacred.
