In Bill Cotter's Fever Chart, Jerome Coe, having spent most of his life medicated, electroshocked, and institutionalized, finds himself homeless on the coldest night of the century—and so, with nowhere else to go, he accepts a ride out of New England from an old love's ex-girlfriend. It doesn't quite work out, but he make it to New Orleans, and a new life—complete with a bandaged hand, world-champion grilled-cheese sandwiches, and only the occasional psychotic break. Things get better, and then, of course, they get worse.Annie La Ganga's Stoners and Self-Appointed Saints is a collection of prose-poetry. It is a kind of memoir, a life story told by accretion. It is a collection of voices, some funny, some dark, some wise and some foolish. It is a collection of vivid portraits of the strange, silly, and troubled people and places in an artist's life and mind.
