Description
Inside a truck in rural Utah, a pig farmer tells his young friend "Turn right up there / and get off these pavements." What follows are cold beers and the monologue of a semiliterate man telling his heart's tale. The interweaving stories--caustic, hilarious and heart-rending--create one of the most haunting and accomplished poems of our time.Driving and Drinking takes about an hour to read. It will stay with you a lifetime.
