About This Item

Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1999. Softcover. Fine. Advance reading copy, with wrong pagination on back cover with reviewer's name in pencil on front cover, otherwise a fine copy, in wrappers.

Synopsis

Exulting in the speech of his native Alabama, Rodney Jones's new poems combine satire and ode, formal lament and ribald joke. James Dickey praised this poet's early work as "one of our most poignant and inescapable renditions of the agony at the historical razor's edge." Now, in his sixth book, Jones extends his emotional and stylistic range. He writes of football and feminism, of DDT and family, of crows and sex, of ink and raccoons and perpetual-motion machines. In many of these poems the southern drawl lives forever, riding on the tide of regional language, poking fun yet delighting in it.
