Publisher's Synopsis
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.
