"Outlaws in literature are rogues who carry no gun, but fire into the center of our awareness. They use the present, past, and interior world of their dreaming and living. John Dorsey has done a hell of a job! This book will give you a thought provoking introduction to Dorsey's style and talent. I find his writing clear, weirdly funny, moving, and sorrowful. If I were to compare John Dorsey to a respected literary figure, it would have to be Ed Abbey. Both were protectors and observers and laid it out to be remembered!" ---Ann Menebroker, Author of tiny teeth: The Wormwood Review Poems R.L. Crow Publications, 2004.
