Relief of My Symptoms is the debut poetry collection from West Virginia based writer and musician, Kevin Chesser. Chesser's prose-inspired poems immerse the reader in a world where family, childhood, and the decaying archetypes of Americana loom large. Weird, witty, and self-deprecating, Relief of My Symptoms takes its cues from the likes of Ron Padgett, James Tate, Richard Brautigan, and other classically off-kilter American poets.
