Dark Way Down, a road trip in verse, is a speculative continuation of David Bowie’s album, Station to Station, featuring the iconic David Bowie character, the Thin White Duke. The collection explores gender, addiction, occultism, and toxic queer masculinity through the lens of the Duke’s lesbian daughter, a mixed-up queering of bygone relics and Casanova. From Lauren Parker’s pensive daydreams out of Dodge, the Daughter of the Duke drives a rickety Chevelle from Bel Air to the Mesas of New Mexico seeking the place where her father was last seen. This is the story of what she found.
