Road Ghosts by John Roche
"An unexpected treasure, ROAD GHOSTS is an on-the-ground poetic document of radicalized students coming of age in the late 60s & early 70s. Its clarity of external & internal detail is often startling. Its detached camera eye lucidly documents the process of portent, pretense & Utopian fervor associated with that brief opening in U.S. dissident cultures & the generational clashes inspired by idealism, psychedelics, & quest fever. It's a profound personal essay on being & becoming"—David Meltzer.
