Welcome to the vibrant world of Elvis in the Morning, a captivating collection of poems and personal essays by author Florence Wetzel.
In sparse yet evocative verse, Wetzel grapples with a destructive relationship, sings of spiritual longing, delves into the heartbreak of addiction, and muses on jazz musicians and saints. The five accompanying essays explore melancholy moments with humor: a fateful encounter with Jack Kerouac's last wife, an amusing run-in with jealous cats, a dramatic escape from a bus pervert, and more.
Witty, wise, and deeply affecting, Elvis in the Morning captures the messy beauty of what it means to be human. The book is a true celebration of language, inviting readers into Wetzel's intimate landscape of poetry and memory.
