The listing, Tucumcari by Geoff Peterson and Megan Collins has ended.
This auction is for a like new paperback copy of TUCUMCARI by Geoff Peterson and Megan Collns, a different sort of memoir. I've had this book for a couple of years, and while it's a good read, it's not one I want to hold onto forever. Time to clear up some space in my bookshelf.
Here's what other people have said about TUCUMCARI:
Tucumcari, home of ghost motels, where two wandering souls seek answers to the riddle of history and the illusion of place in an adobe movie theatre before heading east to start over. Authors Geoff Peterson and Megan Collins have crafted an innovative gem. --Chuck Joy, Fun Poetry
Deftly written and with amazing honesty, Tucumcari examines the past while looking toward the future in a way that often touches the heart and occasionally the funny bone. --Kristine Schwartzman, writer, editor
There are things about it I find disturbing, but I can't explain why. I would recommend Tucumcari to someone traveling alone, who's lonely perhaps, and in need of a meal but doesn't know it. --Lash LaRue, range rider
All things far away are worthy of meditation, say
the authors of Tucumcari, a travel journal tracing
the crazy routes backwards from hometowns to
westward visions of an alternate life. Presented
in essay, poems and four unabashed interviews,
Tucumcari probes history’s intersections of
public & private demons, as well as decisions
made in a family’s past that alter the course of
our lives.
“Tucumcari takes us from where we are…to what
made us who we are…to who we might have been…to
who we might yet be…and back again.”
--Cee Williams, author of 12 Poems
