Book Description
Poetry written during a 10-year span of criss-crossing America in a roving-eye view of the turn-of-the-century landscape of Mythville, or, as the author puts it: "It's all a bunch of Mythville." With work from four separate books by Arizona-based author and poet Douglas McDaniel, the bard-inspired voices of Milton, Blake and Yeats, as well as the saturnine streak of early beat poesy, ring through this collection of poems and essays. From the southwestern deserts to the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts, "Many Moons to Mythville" is a foot-to-the-floor blast through the mythical roads of American life.

Book Description
"The Road to Mythville" is a collection of poems on the apocalyptic mythos of late-century America, drawing from McDaniel's decade-long sojourn across the nation as a journalist and Jack Kerouac-style poet, from the Southwestern deserts, to the Colorado Rockies, Northern California, New England and back again. A protege of the late Edward Abbey, McDaniel's poetry explores everything from Major League Baseball to environmental catastrophe. Influenced by Kurt Vonnegut, Thomas Pynchon and such poets as John Berryman, Robert Lowell and W.B. Yeats, this rich collection details the human face of a modern, post-punk Luddite.
