Each poem was written in the moment, with no thought to spelling or grammar, leaving the raw words of the moment on the page. Trash Poems is more than a book of poetry, it is a revolution and a movement. It tells us \"it's okay\" to just write, there are no pre-requisites. And at its heart, it is full of raw poetry.\"How ecstatic (and envious!) I am reading Trash Poems. Alex Z. Salinas has manifested a masterpiece of meditative poesy-one part eco\/urban art book, one part ADD Leaves of Grass, all parts adhering to the Beat's first thought\/best thought. From macro ruminations on family and mortality down to micro observations of a BIC pen, a persistent gnat, a looping Kanye video, Salinas takes note of impermanence with a haiku master's eye\/mind, dashing it down on the lost and found objects around us: receipts, cups, wrappers, napkins. All of it, trash. How easily these words can be ash-a nugget left buried for us within a pithy political poem. But no worries, gentle reader, this book will be there for you when you need it. These messages-not-in-bottles, scooped up and cataloged for our convenience.\" Harold Whit Williams, author of A Rain Ancestral and guitarist for Cotton Mather\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eItem# 9798987569429\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAuthorized Dealer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salinas, Alex Z.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49425218961702,"sku":"9798987569429","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0128\/7762\/7456\/files\/94103763-4fa0-5057-8b5d-b88ebe9310e0.jpg?v=1724606730","url":"https:\/\/retrostar-gifts.myshopify.com\/products\/trash-poems-salinas-alex-z","provider":"Retrostar Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
