An unusually assured debut, ACID VIRGA is a memoir in verse cutting between a vivid Southwest upbringing and modern O'Hara hustle in New York City, deeply and seriously reckoning with the psychedelic heritage of religion and the psychological clarity of chemical consciousness. It is both thrillingly propulsive and dense enough to read again and again, always offering up something new, always a true and important record of our American lives as lived now - an endless and reliable ticker tape of the soul.
