520 |a A book of poetry, dreams and speculative talks, collected from the psychic detritus of living in the US-Mexico borderlands. Part coping mechanism, part magical act, Hydra Medusa was composed while Brandon Shimoda was working five jobs and raising a child, during bus commutes, before bed, at sunrise.

Where they are trying, against and within the energy of it all, to contend with our inherited present and to live.
