This is the latest poetry collection by award-winning poet, journalist, and essayist Lawrence Welsh of El Paso, Texas, who has thirteen poetry books to his credit, and has appeared in over 300 publications. His American Skull contains multitudes: vast deserts, lost highways, desperate cities, all accompanied by a plaintive harmonica. And somewhere, further back, an Irish fiddle. As poet John Macker observes, In Lawrence Welsh's latest book, American skulls and bones are strewn across the borderlands like feverish prayers; look inside one and it sees through you into an emptiness or openness that the desert becomes. As empty as it seems, he fills it all with empathy and nuance. His language is also generous, and his landscapes are full of soul.
