Walker Rose is a wanderer, a floundering idealist, a hellbent wordsmith trying to squeeze some nectar from the flowers of experience. On a mission with no definable goal, he’s found himself sailing overseas on a voyage bound for failure, hitchhiking the endless highway to nowhere, babysitting black market crops in the outlaw backcountry of Northern California through fire-choked summers and biblical downpours. He puts it all on the page from the perspective of a passenger on an out-of-control ride, a train fleeing the tracks’ command and ultimately following the path of least resistance. It all blurs together in a dreamlike vision, the way backgrounds blur through speed and proximity. But he always manages to pull meaning from the turbulence, finding the silence, the white space, through the noise of it all.
