Famous Persons We Have Known
Angebote / Angebote:
In this collection of 52 poem, Minnesota writer Richard Robbins introduces the famous persons promised in the title: Lon Chaney, Jr., buying eggs and bananas at a Capistrano Beach supermarket, Elvis "slipping out/with raccoons and owls to buy pink/Cadillacs for anyone that moved him, " Marshal Dillon, his head split by a surfing mishap, even Geronimo, galloping back toward nature, "ruined for love." But this book is about more than famous people. From the char and kokanee-choked waters of Montana to an art gallery in Utah where the narrator doesn't meet a famous poet laureate, Robbins connects past and present, the dead and the living. He does so with sly humor, a naturalist's precision, and a potent lyricism.
