The Follower's Tale

These poems are about driving and exploring, music and heartache, and one poet's fascination with the Backwoods Barbie of Tennessee and Hollywood. This book paints with tongue-in-cheek reverence an offbeat picture of where America fits today in a world turning under the shadows of pop culture icons. With diversions to Milwaukee, New Orleans, Paris, and other places far and wide, The Follower's Tale does for Dollywood what Ulysses did for Dublin. Powers lives in Wisconsin.
