商品簡介
poetry that fails to
cock a snook at
human folly
and is insufficiently outraged
with the stupidly cruel
and the corrupt
is far too soft and
best left unwritten
and poetry marinated
only in vinegar
with neither levity
nor sweetness
is much too hard and
can neither inform
nor inspire
after much consideration therefore
i have made it my
mission
to become the Goldilocks
of the form
Neither too sweet nor too sour, Minor Gods and Major Scoundrels lays bare life and politics
in the 21st century. Poems and song lyrics are at turns reverent and irreverent, satirical
and tender. An imagined dialogue between Trump and Leonard Cohen, encounters with
God(s), golf, love, mortality-these and a vast array of other topics are subject to Kleinplatz's unflinching gaze. Minor Gods and Major Scoundrels will appeal to an adult audience that likes to be provoked both to thought and laughter.
