Yet these capacious, exquisitely tensioned poems are rooted in Greenberg's experiences hitchhiking and hopping freight trains across North America, or draw from her informal interviews with contemporary nomads, hobos, and others living on society's edges. Beneath their surface runs a current of violence, whether at the hands of fate or men: she writes \"Everyone knows \/\/ what happens to women \/\/ who hitchhike, constantly \/\/ trying a door to the other world made of lake \/ bottom or low forest, abandoned house \/\/ even wild animals \/ have rejected.\" The result is a queering of On the Road, a feminist Frank Stanford at once vulnerable and canny. Richly textured, In the Volcano's Mouth is an extraordinary portrait of life on the enchanted margins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiriam Bird Greenberg\u003c\/b\u003e teaches creative writing and English as a second language.
