City Slicker Splendid

KW Peery's newest collection is a front-porch jam session with the heart of the blues. These poems roll down dirt roads and back alleys, slip into smoky bars at last call, and tip a hat to the good women who change everything-or leave you aching. Peery writes from the sweet spot where city grit meets country dust, where steel guitar meets neon light. Every page hums with rhythm: the snap of pool balls, the shuffle of boots, the long note that hangs in the air after closing time. His voice is raw, tender, and unshakably honest, giving you the kind of poetry you don't just read-you feel in your bones. If you've ever chased a song through the night or let a memory ride shotgun, you'll find yourself here, nodding along, ready for the next verse.more info at shinerunnerpress.com
