"still they cry, and still the world pursues...jay, jay, jayhawk to dirty ears"

An alley door to a business beside a metal staircase.
Author Will Averill reimagines T.S. Eliot's epic poem The Waste Land in modern-day Lawrence, Kansas. Illustrator Kent Smith delivers whimsical and nostalgic images of Lawrence.

Part sketch-book, part-cover, part-parody, Day After the Wasteland is THE holiday gift for the discerning townie in your life.
