Drunk on Angel Breath

Pulitzer Prize nominee R. Nikolas Macioci turns inward to reflect on times gone by and people and experiences he has viewed in his life. Macioci's collection attends to a variety of emotional palates. In "Euchre," he moves readers keenly into the speaker's experience: "...Bars are/ the game's prostitutes. They take tricks./ ...The only bar I understand is the one that serves beer/ and liquor, and I'm headed there now to help me/ forget everything I never learned about euchre."
