Flowering Off the Chrome
by John Hughes
Price: $3.44 USD. 6060 words. Published on October 10, 2011. Fiction.
Flowering Off the Chrome is a collection of symbolic poetic projections into the rural landscape. Removed from the urban sprawl, set during midsummer and narrated through a series of dramatic monologues, Hughes has created a rich sequence of see-sawing yarns about the comings and goings on a farm he knew as a child. Looking back through the eyes of an old man who chose to remain and work the land.
