Unlikely 2.0 is proud to present its first chapbook, Moonlight on Moloch: 20 Redneck Symphonies by Luke Buckham. Featuring color photographs by Kelly Hoffman, Moonlight on Moloch is an imagistic, surreal voyage into the method and madness of these very surreal times. Stark and blunt, but never cynical, Moonlight on Moloch explores the violence of America's current mental illness and offers no solution but the love of creativity.

Luke Buckham says, “Current poetry, despite the fact that people like Simic & Sapphire have published great work, has become cluttered with cowardly, cliched, unmemorable verse. One of the most admirable features of humanity is that while the general public does it's job to keep fads & advertisers comfortably alive, the counterculture usually manages to preserve superb art. We can access work by Hieronymous Bosch even though he died nearly 500 years ago. Still, the work of great poets like Micheline & Norse has gone out of print, and this is shameful. It means that the counterculture could be doing a much better job.”

I dreamt that I had commented on Luke Buckham only to just wake a minute ago and find that I already had. An anomalistic month gives one an extra couple of days to make-up or change their mind. I have since done neither.
