Often set in the less-glamorous corners and lesser-known outskirts of iconic Las Vegas, the poetry in Jennifer Battisti’s Echo Bay defines an honest reality of motherhood and daughterhood contrasting their predefined definitions. Obliterating the saccharine, and with acute descriptions and sharp language, each piece blends natural order with one’s own sentience until objectivity evaporates and all that is left is emotion. In Battisti’s debut chapbook, music from the late twentieth century plays in the background, desert heat radiates from the pages, and at any given moment an off-duty Elvis waits for his flight.

Literary

Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. Fiction. Within the pages of OFF BOULDER HIGHWAY--a hybrid work of poetry, memoir, and surrealistic prose--we encounter Vegas landmarks that act as characters, Reagan era disasters, the loss of a father. Jennifer Battisti--an '80s latchkey kid, now mother--transforms narrative into a pop-culture artifact filled with people as beautiful as they are broken, unexpected heroes like L.L. Cool J and Hulk Hogan, trauma, addiction, disaster, and ritualistic paths to redemption.
