Gold Cure by Ted Mathys (Coffee House Press, paperback) Publication Date: September 15, 2020 Publisher Marketing: Lustrous, tender, and expansive, Gold Cure moves from boomtown gol d mines and the mythical city of El Dorado to the fracking wells of the American interior, excavating buried histories, legacies of conquest, and the pursuit of shimmering ideals. Ted Mathys skewers police brutality on the ribs of a nursery rhyme and drives Petrarchan sonnets into shale fields deep under the prairies. In crystalline language rich with allegory and wordplay, Mathys has crafted a moving elegy for the Anthropocene. Show more
