DRIVING HOME
He was jawboning
Stonewalling was she
More the questions
Fewer the answers
Nature is nuisance
Nuisance is nature
Back & forth till
They turned instantly
An excruciating sound
Tires squealing
Metal mashing
An excruciating sound
A fierce explosion
A black carnation rising
Fireball flaming
Heat on our heels
We sped off fast
Into the black of night
Quick as death

About Me
- fishmonger in the desert
- Born in Paris, France in 1953. C3 grew up during the post-WWII reconstruction of Europe and the lingering devastation of the populace and landscape profoundly affected the young Coleman-Craig. The subsequent murder-suicide of his parents at the age of thirteen also moved C3 to try to understand the workings of the human soul during the most stressful of times, as well as, during the most mundane of times that somehow turn devastating despite our best efforts to stave off small intrusions into our increasingly less comfortable lives. He studied at Millikin University under Dan Guillory, at Southern Illinois University under John Gardner, as well as, at Duke University. He later studied with Katie Ford at the Writer's Workshop at the University of Iowa. He lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico with his wife, Sarah Coleman-Craig.
