A New Land: Dried Apricots, Samurai Dog Biscuits, & Other Writings

By Larry Goodell

NEW For 2024 a piece on Greg Tucker's post-penitentiary-riot show "It's A Riot" and many other changes and perked up content Prose to be read out loud anytime you feel like it. This is just about all of Goodell's prose. "Found A New Land exciting reading " - Ann Quin. "You're crazy like a dancing fox." - John Nichols.

A life of wild scribbling flows from this native of New Mexico, USA. A NEW LAND, the first part of the book, comes out of the late 60's when colorful young people begin moving in and finding how to lay adobes, and some took over the local bar and built it into a music mecca for the Southwest. DRIED APRICOTS explores the crazier parts of Goodell's brain where anything goes and the unleashed verbal input continues. There's a multi-gender base that keeps moving through his work as Earth consciousness continually beats like a drum. SAMURAI DOG BISCUITS and RODEO GUTS reflect fragmentary inputs that festoon the page with satire, spoofs and biography.

A NEW LAND and other writings range from 1968 on in this Placitas performance poet's digestible life celebrations.
