Dealer, by Iván Salinas
"Repoman meets the Seventh Seal."
-Crabby St. Clair
This book is a wild tale through the freeways of one Angelino's soul as they embark on the crushing endeavor we all must face: buying a used car with very little means. Over the course of nineteen poems they encounter many obstacles and challenges, great art and true love, ultimately coming closer to what lies beyond the veil of reality than what the DMV has to say. Nicole, if you're reading this, please get in touch.
The poems are printed in both english and spanish.
