Poetry. DRIVING GRAVEL ROADS is a collection of prose poems about small towns, forgotten places, and back country destinations traveled to and from along "beetle tracks, deer trails, tote and gravel roads, as well as interstate highways and sky." As the prose poem is a form that seems to be simple prose but is actually poetry, maybe not High Poetry, but humble Midwestern United States Poetry, this form and these places hopefully inspire each other.
