Chaldea and I Dig Girls

Chaldea/I Dig Girls by Nick Tosches is “a purse-book of breath from dead places, of gutters that run through paradise and gods who dwell in madness, of ancient wisdoms and ancient rhythms come back to town in kid-mohair britches. Chaldea is Newark. Chaldea is the place of all dark magic, deep within the lake of the heart; the place of resurrection, annihilation, and the breezes of all that is forbidden…” It comprises 25 poems and a story.
