All things far away are worthy of meditation, saythe authors of Tucumcari, a travel journal tracingthe crazy routes backwards from hometowns towestward visions of an alternate life. Presentedin essay, poems and four unabashed interviews,Tucumcari probes historys intersections ofpublic & private demons, as well as decisionsmade in a familys past that alter the course ofour lives.Tucumcari takes us from where we areto whatmade us who we areto who we might have beentowho we might yet beand back again.--Cee Williams, author of 12 Poems
