Description

"Because I did not die in the log cabin where I was born, I shoulder the Green Mountains wherever I go...." -"A Meditation on Fire In Gunmetal Blue, Jason Allen tracks the journey from the Green Mountains of his birth to his present life, passing through years of family strife, addictions, and misunderstandings to the place of love and peace that he calls today. The poetry in these pages does not shy away from the unpleasant nor does it ignore the beauty of the moments that have passed as he has grown from "the dirt-poor little shit who stumbled / into smart-kid classes in hand-me-down / sneakers and odd-fitting pants" to a man who vows to "fall for all the fictions / with happy endings." In between his words show why he is a courageous new voice in poetry.

Jason Allen has an MFA from Pacific University and is currently a PhD candidate at Binghamton University, where he has been at work on his second novel, his debut full-length poetry collection, and his memoir, Moonlight On The Tracks, a section of which was recently nominated for the AWP Intro Journals Prize. Some of his short fiction and poems have been published in: Passages North, Cream City Review, Paterson Literary Review, Contemporary American Voices, Ragazine, The Molotov Cocktail, Oregon Literary Review, and other venues. He's a sucker for any good story with survival and redemption at its heart. If you would like to contact him, please feel free to request his email address from the Jane's Boy Press website.
