This collection of poetry is not your parents' literature class poetry. In a handful of spare lines, each of these poems presents an unflinching and unfiltered glimpse of the inner and outer lives of characters, many of whom, if they lived next door, you would move away from as quickly as possible. Some poems are tender, some are funny, some are insightful, some are meaningless, some are vulgar, and some are decidedly not P.C. But they are all one man's unique and often irreverent observations and reflections on growing up and growing older, on religion and spirituality, on American society and culture, on the working class and the underclass, on relationships, on life. The Poet Laureate of Cracker Town is the reality TV of poetry.
