"Ron Padgett makes the most quiet and sensible of feelings a provocatively persistent wonder."--Robert CreeleyRon Padgett has reenergized modern poetry with exuberant and tender love poems, with exceptionally lucid and touching elegies, and with imaginative and action-packed homages to American culture and visual art. His poems have always imparted a contagious sense of joy.In these new poems, Padgett hasn't forsaken his beloved Woody Woodpecker, but he has decided to heed the canary and sound the alarm. He has paid tribute to Woody Woodpecker and the West, to friends and collaborators, to language and cowslips, to beautiful women and chocolate milk, to paintings and small-time criminals.
Even as these poems cajole and question, as they call attention to what has been lost and what we still stand to Here, he asks, "What makes us so mean?" And he really wants to know.
