A lyrically intense fifth collection from āone of the nationās most provocative and edgy poetsā (San Diego Union-Tribune).
With both passion and precision, Lucifer at the Starlite explores lifeās dual nature: good and evil, light and dark, suffering and moments of unexpected joy. Whether looking outward to events on the world stageāthe war in Iraq, the 2004 Asian tsunamiāor inward at struggles with the self, these poems aim at the heart and against the feeling that Lucifer may have already won the day.
from āLucifer at the Starliteā
Hereās my bright idea for life on earth:
better management. The CEO
has lost touch with the details. Iām worth
as much, but I care; I come down here, I show
my face, Iām a real regular. A toast:
To our boys and girls in the war, grinding
through sand, to everybody here, our host
whoās mostly mist, like methane rising
