Sobre IBD

It started when the boss announced: 'You guys can fight in the alley, you can fight in the truck yard, but stop fighting in the customers’ fucking houses...' This changes everything for Johnny and the rest of the crew, who were accustomed to a policy which allowed drugs and violence during work hours. Moving furniture for a living allowed guys with spotty criminal and work histories to barely keep their heads above water, but the instatement of actual rules provokes an unfocused urge for revenge. Johnny and the guys use the boss’ trucks to burglarize houses, kicking off a poorly-planned crime spree. This is a working-class crime novel where the intended target is anyone who is 'not us.' 3

  • The Ambulatorium

    Continuing the western tradition of 'bastard ghazals' that do not hold to the form or intent of the 13thcentury Sufi mystics who wrote of religious devotion and erotic longing, these poems are collagestracing a route at the edges of suburban houses filled with doppelganger children, county jails andflophouse hotels, Sonny Liston and Geechie Wiley, Maurice Sendak and the Lindbur...
