Petroglyth Americana

Poetry. Asian and Asian American Studies. PETROGLYPH AMERICANA is a book-length poem that careens across landscapes of the American West and resonates with Scott Ezell's dozen years in Asia. By turns narrative and lyrical, PETROGLYPH AMERICANA is a journey through Death Valley and Las Vegas, through the Great Basin and San Francisco's administrative assistance industry, and through the history of the Gold Rush and an LA traffic jam--all with reflections from Asian landscapes, cultures, and poetry. PETROGLYPH AMERICANA embraces the lust, freedom, exuberance, and folly of America, distilling a geographic, cultural, and ecological sense of place.
