In the southeast Portland neighborhood of Dickman’s youth, parents are out of control and children are in chaos. With grief, anger, and, ultimately, understanding, Dickman confronts a childhood of ambient violence, well-intentioned but warped family relations, confining definitions of identity, and the deprivation of this particular Portland neighborhood in the 1980s. \u003ci\u003eWonderland\u003c\/i\u003e reminds us that, while these neighborhoods are filled with guns, skateboards, fights, booze, and heroin, and home to punk rockers, skinheads, poor kids, and single moms, they are also places of innocence and love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatthew Dickman\u003c\/b\u003e is the award-winning author of \u003ci\u003eWonderland\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMayakovsky’s Revolver\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eAll-American Poem\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the May Sarton Award from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
