Subterranean Hum: Poems by David Ensminger and Peter Case First edition

Subterranean Hum is a modern, vivid, and eclectic collaborative poetry book by writer, folklorist, drummer, and educator David Ensminger and Grammy nominated singer-songwriter Peter Case. As a core member of the indelible indie rock icons Nerves and Plimsouls, Case describes this collection as such: "The days pile up like snow drifts in Atlanta, & here we are?recombining & reclaiming the world from psychic & somnambulistic free-fall, one post-human block at a time: commuting on Interstate 10?winding through Exxon-lands Satanic Mills?learning to speak & see in the dark?driving with the lights on at noon in a Gulf Coast storm?writing in difficult circumstances?moments snatched ballpoint on three by five cards?seen from trains?planes?van windows & waiting room benches?throughout America, Australia & the U. K.?shared with each other & you for inspiration & to keep the words flowing?situations with friends & lovers?troubles & actions on the streets?who keeps the roads open if we?re shut down? who keeps the language alive if we go silent? Subterranean Hum proclaims pockets of resistance?coming up from under?scattered lights seen from the sky in the small hours?& nevertheless, was composed for KICKS!"
