shoot forth thunder is five daily slices of life recorded on a 77 year-old typewriter in the spring and summer of 2005 in new orleans. it is published by reactor press of san francisco. shoot forth thunder is a series of shorts that culminates after trent, his fiancée, and her nine year-old daughter escaped the city they loved four days after hurricane katrina.
from the publisher:
Trent Reker has lived in New Orleans and heard God speak to him "with anger when blessings are demanded and with blessings that came when my soul was humbled." His is a world flooded with words, anger, desperation and misunderstanding; a world drowning in Mad Dog 20/20 and Mountain Dew, mended with salubrious sex, and covered in tattoos. He has "cursed new orleans with a flood" and is repaid by the righteous touch of humanity. shoot forth thunder is a collection of short essays that will bring you in touch with intense rage and emotions coaxed to a simmer through lyrical language. |
