Cars Crashed In Charcoal Cities

C S Hughes again traverses the sublime to the ridiculous, skirting deserts, wrecking cars, taking damage. From brief amusements, to moments of stark, poignant beauty, scarred wreckage, twisted metal, tension held in a droplet, a bird dying in hand, some sketched in stark and minimal brushstrokes, others in grand and outlandish Guignol. Different pieces touch on subjects as diverse as modern romance, Gothic horror and Saturday nights.Includes the poem/essay "Restaurant", which, through truck stop signs, red deserts, symbolist and romantic poets, with all seriousness forwards the Theory of the Preposterous, in which the postmodern unmakes modernity, and leaves us all in a state of joyous ridicule.
