24th street irregular press seems to spend an inordinately large amount of time making miniature books of poetry under its Poems-For-All imprint. But they've been know to put out the occasional larger-sized chapbook now and then.

Big Drink presents an impressive collection of poems by Sacramento poet Crawdad Nelson. "For raw power and freshness of language," writes author Bill Pieper, "nobody outdoes Crawdad Nelson in crafting poems that interweave the natural world with the human psyche and vice-versa. This guy has a gift."

In addition to the title poem, Big Drink, the chap puts together for the first time his popular poems I Get the Impression the World is Made of Roses (previously published in miniatures as part of the Poems-For-All Series) and Bigfoot is Continuous.
