"This book provides information on North American's Mach-2 A3J/RA-5C from author Robert "Boom" Powell, a US Navy carrier pilot who flew Vigilantes during his second combat tour in Vietnam.

*Winner of the 2012 National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry* I have this rearrangement to make: symbolic death, my backward glance. The way the past is a kind of future leaning against the sporty hood. —from "Bugcatching at Twilight" In Useless Landscape, or A Guide for Boys - D. A. Powell's fifth book of poetry - the rollicking line he has made his signature becomes the taut, more discursive means to describing beauty, singing a dirge, directing an ironic smile, or questioning who in any given setting is the instructor and who is the pupil.

With Powell's witty banter, emotional resolve, and powerful lyricism, this collection demonstrates his exhilarating range.
Bubeník Don Powell měl v roce 1973 těžkou automobilovou nehodu, po které se musel vypořádávat se ztrátou paměti, zdeptaností a nejistotami, které to neslo s sebou. Musel vyvinout značné úsilí, aby přežil. Kniha Můj život ve Slade přináší svědectví o jednom vyhraném boji s osudem. A samozřejmě také o tom, jaké to je, hrát se Slade.
