Spare yet evocative, the poems in Mister Martini pair explorations of a father-son relationship with haiku-like martini recipes. The martini becomes a daring metaphor for this relationship as it moves from the son's childhood to the father's death. Each poem is a strong drink in its own right, and together they form a potent narrative of alienation and love between a father and son struggling to communicate. 410 0$aVassar Miller prize in poetry series ;$vno. 15. 606 $aFathers and sons$vPoetry 615 0$aFathers and sons 676 $a811/.6 700 $aCarr$b Richard$f1962-$01725229 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974170303321 996 $aMister Martini$94474144 997 $aUNINA
