Wonderful book

This is a great book. If you like contemporary poetry, you'll really appreciate Haug's gifts for storytelling, language, and character -- so vivid the people and places come alive. Though the poems seem rooted in realism -- from scenes of junkyards to suburban developments -- a sense of mystery and spirituality are there, too, transporting readers. The book was worth the price just for "Garage Songs." an anthem to rock 'n' roll so original it stayed with me for days.
