• Sommario/riassunto: Detailing a point of view that is both contentious and genial-somewhere between the outlooks of Archie Bunker and Dale Peck-the wide-ranging poems in this honest collection ponder questions concerning art, history, and psychology while reveling in the sensory experiences of everyday life. Whether exploring the modus operandi of other writers or paralleling the trajectory of a satellite with a badly ended love affair, these conversational and intellectual poems present a unique voice with a comprehensive worldview.
