“These poems keenly observe the serrated edge of urban life. They have a clarity, a pitiless compassion.” —Dione Brand
A Good Time Had by All
$19.95
Brimming with quirky characters and uncommon insights, this collection of poems introduces a Karaoke King who almost blows his one shot at true love; a misanthrope who loses his only friend; and a young girl who recites an ode to “Dirty Donnie,” the name she has given her constant companion: a cigarette. Accessible and open, jaunty and energetic, these poems pay homage to everyday experiences and poetic tradition – with monologues that rub shoulders with aubades and odes and incantatory rhyme throughout.
