Overview

A memoir in prose poetry, Hopkinsville represents the pinnacle of T. Crunk's skill as a poet, as well as a prose writer. An ode to a place and its people and their shared past, every page both moves and informs the reader. ""T. Crunk's masterful memoir, Hopkinsville, reads like sifting through a picture album of his life. Snapshots told in vivid detail with extraordinary vision, Crunk's lens-as through a child's perspective, noticing J C Penney's ""three-way mirror in the clothes aisle [where you can] look at a thousand of yourself,"" the popcorn machine at Woolworth's, cigarettes discarded from car windows like mini-fireworks-makes the reader marvel at his memory. We are treated to lines of early poems that lead him to becoming the masterful storyteller he is. Crunk unearths visceral details of his life in a memoir filled with details that spring to life the reader will carry long after reading the last words of this extraordinary book. It is a story of place, of family, of secrets, and truths."" -B. Elizabeth Beck, author of Swan Songs
