Poetry. This collection of new work by New York mastermind Kenward Elmslie, compiled in honor of his 75th birthday, juxtaposes visuals by Trevor Winkfield with new poems and theatre lyrics from his musicals. "There's a lot of heart in these poems--really these songs, because they come from a ranging mastery of everything from classical opera to old-time Country Western. Kenward Elmslie tells the insistent tales of our tribe with great humor and seemingly endless invention"--Robert Creeley.
