Claremont, CA – May 21, 2022 – Pelekinesis is pleased to announce the upcoming release of No. Wait. I Can Explain., new poetry from Brad Rose, available August 20, 2022 worldwide.
The poems and microfiction of No. Wait. I Can Explain. are predominately surreal and playful. Many are unified by the quirky voices of hardscrabble speakers who have experienced social and economic turmoil, and a resulting psychic instability. Via interior monologues and uncanny dialogues, speakers take liberties with standard colloquial speech, invent unusual similes, and employ unconventional variants of American idioms. They also offer startling insights and unexpected moments of wisdom. Both in spite of, and because of, speakers’ peculiarities, the poems and microfiction of No. Wait. I Can Explain. seek to offer keen, if unsettling, glimpses into the darker—and often darkly humorous— underlying dimensions of contemporary American life.
No. Wait. I Can Explain. by Brad Rose will be available through Baker & Taylor, Ingram, Gardners, directly from the publisher's website, and in fine local bookstores worldwide.
