Book Overview
S. C. Watson's Baja Bad is a powerful collection of stirring original gothic and southwestern poems and prose. It's traditionally concise and carefully crafted sounds, rhythms, imagery, symbolism, and technical devices echo the senses, inspire the imagination, and enlighten both our personal perceptions and collective understanding of the universe. It's rooted in the ideal that poetry is beauty, and beauty is truth, absolute truth. And it conveys this principle in a manner rarely utilized in modern dramatic poetry. This collection of poems is set against the semiautobiographical experiences of the writer as he battles a powerful other-worldly Daughter of Darkness and a variety of very worldly evils.
