Acclaimed singersongwriter Rodney DeCroo's second poetry collection, Next Door to the Butcher Shop, explores the permeability of memory and uncovers heartwrenching beauty from shadowy grit.How quickly agedescends on us. Our memories are mapsto places that don't exist. I was an emperoron a green lawn wearing a white sheetand a paper crown. The birds sang my praisesfrom the hedges and the treesDeCroo unsentimentally recounts moments suffused with grief, longing and loss, and offers a refreshingly unfiltered view of one's self.I'd stand for days along the edges of expresswayto sing offkey into the screams of semitrailers and carsuntil I stood within a cocoon of silence and flashing shadowsIn a deft combination of lyrical and visceral imagery, Next Door to the Butcher Shop offers a rare, sharp, firsthand perspective of life around the edges, with dark comedy dispersed throughout.
