DrunkSkull Books is proud to present: Psalms From The Badlands by Hosho McCreesh
An expansive collection of 150 "psalms" or haiku-like, Japanese-style breath poems about the brutal and beautiful American southwest, with nature as the catalyst for deeper meditations on life, love, grief, loss, and, of course, death.
Praise for the original 37 Psalms from the Badlands

"Succinct, laconic, eloquent, clear and very much to the point, McCreesh etches a portrait of the West in all its manifestation, burning it into the reader's mind. Not a word is wasted." —-Arnold Skemer

"A book worth buying." —Mike Kriesel

"It is always such a joy to crack into an Hosho McCreesh book, as his writing is intense, personal yet universal, and unique. He is, hands down, one of my favorite poets out there...McCreesh gives the Badlands intense personification, breathing life, faces, time, judgment, feelings into mountains and skies, rivers and rock, creatures and sand, writing many poems from the perspective of the land, and telling the secrets and stories of the indigenous peoples who had not survived here, putting their long-lost voices into the terrain." —Leah Angstman
