Product Description 
Unsolicited Poems is David Rowe s first full length collection of poems, bringing together nearly twenty years worth of rigorous poetic work. Throughout Unsolicited Poems one is struck by the range, depth, and precision of the poet s voice. The subject matter is vast as well, and the reader is presented with poems of love, and loss, and anguish, as well as occasional poems, poems to his daughter, and poems in celebration of both friends and artistic idols. & I just wish/ I were poet enough/ To do it all justice, he writes, and whether it be a sonnet, an aubade, a Zulu praise poem, or an overgrown haiku David puts himself to this task again and again with great passion and sincerity. 
 Review 
David Rowe is Walt Whitman's wild child. He drinks with Bukowski, rocks to Satchmo and rolls with Kerouac. A punk expressionist spinning colorful and dynamic verse, *Unsolicited Poems* is the fearless voice of a poet flexing intellectual muscle, history and wit dancing on the thin edge of darkness straight from the heart and true soul of America at New Orleans. --S.A. Griffin\nThe first poetry book I ever read cover to cover. --Thaddeus Conti
