A collection juxtaposed between enormity and simplicity, Homemade Mud Pies is written with the two contrasting voices of Thompson and Quinn. These are not poems. These are survival spells, death rattles. These are the sounds a star makes when it finally collapses into beauty as the pieces wander the streets of Chattanooga and the backroads of the mind. With an eye towards abstract wonderment and the beauty of nature, the poets invite the reader to enter with broken confessions and discover resurrection inside riverbeds and red clay. Come if you've ever danced with your own shadow or asked a dandelion how it survived the flood. Come if your soul is an earthquake and you're done apologizing for it. Crack the spine. Enormity is waiting.
