Artifacts & Parallax

This second collection of poems and songs by six-string packing poet Stephen Van Hook examines life from multiple angles with artifacts of word and image. You'll find tales of a 19th century Emperor & Empress, salvaged wartime whiskey, a Harley-riding evangelist, an airport Christmas celebration, a WWII-era civil rights movement, as well as reflections on life from a child in rural Iowa to a "middle-aged rock god".
