Red Sauce, Whiskey and Snow

"[The poems] twitch and jerk and snap their fingers at you all the time. High and low vocabularies hang out together. They are hectic, pulsing things, ever alive to the music of words when spoken. The atmosphere is that of some all-night emporium in which every item is on sale for one dollar. In these democratic qualities, they take us back to Walt Whitman and his inventive recklessness with words. They are expansive, energetic and, from time to time, a touch crazed: an authentically American voice."Kleinzahler, August is the author of 'Red Sauce, Whiskey and Snow ', published 1996 under ISBN 9780374524722 and ISBN 0374524726.
