PlazaMatthew Layne with Miracle Strip
Find your next read among local authors!
MIRACLE STRIP, a poetry collection by Matt Layne, is a hybrid of the written and spoken word. Each piece of the collection has an embellished QR code which, when scanned, transforms you from reader into listener. In the campfire tradition of storytelling, the first line of the book invites you to "tell me your story, and I will tell you mine," and like a couple of backwoods adventurers, you and the poet travel together through intricate memories of the deep south and the ghosts who haunt its environs as you journey through MIRACLE STRIP.
