OK, maybe he's a bit beyond middle-aged at this point, and his rueful awareness of this makes these poems even more darkly hilarious, more deeply aware of the feckless and baffling times our nation has stumbled into. And the fact that Bilgere, relatively late in life, is now the father of two young boys brings a fresh sense of urgency to his work. Blood Pages is a guidebook to the fears, foibles, and beauties of our lovely old country as it makes its blundering, tentative way into the new century. 410 0$aPitt poetry series. 606 $aAmerican poetry$y20th century 606 $aAmerican poetry$y21st century 608 $aPoetry. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican poetry 615 0$aAmerican poetry 676 $a811.5408 700 $aBilgere$b George$f1951-$0911642 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795195603321 996 $aBlood Pages$93692296 997 $aUNINA
