Overview
āAs wildly visionary as it is linguistically alive, Gabriel Kruisās Acid Virga drills down into the bedrock of American life to produce a book unparalleled in its exploration of how visionary experience and social upheaval collide in ways that are both transformative and annihilating.ā āTOM SLEIGH
āIf youāve ever been conscious, and felt a little disturbed about it, of life as ancient and ephemeral or that falling apart is an integral force, this is a book to read over and over.ā āSTACY SZYMASZEK

An unusually assured debut, Acid Virga is a memoir in verse cutting between a vivid Southwest upbringing and modern OāHara 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. Language is boundlessly specific, evocative of states internal and external, reading at times like a melancholy memoir stuck between stations, an epic poem or even a philosophical tract, always a true and important record of our American lives as lived nowāan endless and reliable ticker tape of the soul.
