In her second poetry collection-James Dean and the Beautiful Machine-Tracy Ross plays with the effects of postindustrial, data-info culture on the human psyche, our aspirations for the future, and our heritage of the past. Along with James Dean, there are appearances by Elvis, Jim Morrison, James Baldwin, and Dylan Thomas. A brilliant commentary on modern life; a deep-rooted yearning for salvation.
