Klappentext PRAISE FOR DAVID KIRBY "A performer at heart, Kirby's gift is the free-wheeling, comic monologue. His poetry embraces subjects, words, and readers of all types in a blaze of ebullience and humility." -- Harvard Review "These narrative pieces show a skilled craftsman at work. Kirby's place among an attentive poetry audience is permanent; his work is also highly recommended for even the most restless of readers, who will find these poems provide a grounded and meaningful space to visit and stay for a while."
