Book Description:
|
In plain, unpretentious language, with brutal honesty, Ron Koertge can meld violence, love, human ugliness, joy, and modern depravity into a short lyric that makes us laugh out loud or socks us in the gut. Through every poem, there runs a constant humanity, a voice that laughs at itself, often goads us a bit, but always stuns and enlightens us.
