Hard Goods & Hot Platters
Description:
Hard Goods & Hot Platters is saturated with American popular music. Its lines carry a rhythm of their own, alternately relaxed, looping, urgent, melancholic, and Eros-driven. We get an ¿Homage to Mick Jagger¿ and a note by a Springsteen groupie, and encounter a notable roadhouse cheek by jowl with cheap motels. Billie Holliday gets her own poem, richly deserved. And the Ramones rate a cameo. According to Sibyl James, ¿Love¿s some player on the summer fire escape,¿ and I¿m inclined to believe her. Nor do I doubt the wisdom of these lines: ¿cable and bible / love, save us from both.¿ These are poems both real and imagined, full of yearning, regret, fleeting fulfillment, and burning desire. ¿klipschutz ¿author of A Visit to the Ranch & other poems¿
