Description
Poetry. "You've stumbled upon the best travelogue you'll ever find...a book for the ages, and for our age and place."—Laura Kasischke
"The tag-team poetry of Buckley and Ott is as much a kin to the works of John Ashbery and Edward Field as it is to the radio skits of George Burns and Gracie Allen. Their euphonious cacophony of wordplay, ingenious turn-of-phrase concoctions, and steady stream of pop/cross-cultural references create an erudite mix of levelheaded nonsense and harebrained smarts."—Paul Fericano
"John F. Buckley and Martin Ott are extremely talented poets, schooled in their craft, who are already well on their way to the 'A List' of their generation, and are thought by many—myself included—to be there already. This comprehensive collection will be on the shelves and in the hands of those readers who endeavor to chart the course of poetic art in our time."—Gerald Locklin
Author Bio
Martin Ott lives in Los Angeles, where he writes often about his misunderstood city. He is the author of two books of poetry, Underdays (Notre Dame University Press, 2015), and CAPTIVE (C&R Press); and co-author with John F. Buckley of two others: YANKEE BROADCAST NETWORK (Brooklyn Arts Press, 2014), and POETS' GUIDE TO AMERICA (Brooklyn Arts Press, 2012). In 2013, he published the novel The Interrogator's Notebook (Story Merchant Books).
A recent graduate of the Helen Zell Writers Program at the University of Michigan, John F. Buckley has been writing poetry since an attempt at writing a self-help book went somewhat awry. After a twenty-year stint on and near the West Coast, he now lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan with his wife.
