No Sugar-coated Breakfast Cereal Here!

Mulroney and Others By Baron Wormser is one of the greatest contemporary compilations of poetry that I've read in quite a while. It might be that I'm slightly bias with his work (he's taught a few classes I've attended), but the way he bluntly conveys his realist views ofthe world and the people around him blows me away. Also, many of the topics he confronts are every day problems, but made amazing with his special twist of analyzation. The only problem I can find with the book is that some of the topics are not for younger readers, and many of the poems have adult content. Overall though, a great read for any poetry lover who is willing to step past the sugar-coated world we live in today.
