Jeremy Reed is one of the most brilliant poets of his generation and his many fans believe HEARTBREAK HOTEL to be the work that will catapult him into the big league. HEARTBREAK HOTEL is a brilliant, witty, evocative biography of Elvis in verse. It has the potential to become a great cult classic, not just because of the subject, but because the poetry is stylish and accessible as well as scintillatingly intelligent.
