Reviews for With a W/Hole in One
by George Wallace, editor of Poetry Bay
Fearless poems that dance on a tightrope of surrealism, wit and irrepressible energy. The tone ranges from scatological to sacred...these poems laugh at convention and punish the night like so many Roman candles.. Handle with care. There is dangerous fun inside this book.
Sample from With a W/Hole in One
I Took Her Hand In Mine
-- for my mother
I took her lank hand in mine,
And only then became aware
A lifelong hate was spent
And I was clasping love.
She was past ninety
Letting go of the world
There would be no time
Left now to tell her this--
--this almost impostor
Who lay dying in her bed,
Her breasts gone
Her smile in the drawer
With the rings
Her fingers were too thin
To bear, and my remorse
Too thick.
