Jim McGarrah's poems, essays, and stories appear frequently in literary journals such as Bayou Magazine, Breakwater, Cincinnati Review, Chamber Four, Connecticut Review, and North American Review. He is the author of three award-winning books of poetry: Running the Voodoo Down (Elixir Press, 2003); When the Stars Go Dark (Main Street Rag, 2009); and Breakfast at Denny's (Ink Brush Press, 2013). His memoir of war, A Temporary Sort of Peace (Indiana Historical Society Press, 2007) won the national Eric Hoffer Legacy Non-Fiction Award, and the sequel, The End of an Era, was published in 2011. He is editor, along with Tom Watson, of the anthology Home Again: Essays and Memoirs from Indiana and the former managing editor of Southern Indiana Review.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Heron Book Works","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43832820203659,"sku":"9780692420195","price":16.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_f78541ef-49e0-496a-bec3-3351ff54dfa8.jpg?v=1755623821","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/off-track-or-how-i-dropped-out-of-college-and-came-to-be-a-horse-trainer-in-the-1970s-while-all-my-friends-were-still-doing-drug-9780692420195","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
