330   $a"Ah, writ happens." Like the  con men who rely on thieves' Latin to ply their trade, the poems in  Peter Jay Shippy's award-winning collection don't play well with other  poems. They are difficult. They rave. They are unsettling and blunt.  They crash cars and ride tsunamis and hitch rides on tugs. They also  provide a contemporary, ironic, and tender view of America, all the  while layering wordplay, cleverness, and sentiment.
