Book Reviews of Donkey Gospel: Poems
Book Review: What I like
Summary: 5 Stars
I just reread the lowest rating for this collection of poems. I don't personally know the author of that review. After reading this collection of poems from cover-to-cover (twice) and the bad review (twice) I've come to one conclusion. I don't really want to know the reviewer. I'ld rather know the poet. This collection is just plain fun to read.
I don't know a lot about "ear" and "tone" in poetry. But, I know what I like when I see it, or hear it. I like this collection. I haven't enjoyed a collection of poems this much since "Poems In Praise of Practically Nothing".
Summary of Donkey Gospel: Poems
Winner of the 1997 James Laughlin Award of The Academy of American PoetsIn his second collection of poems, Hoagland's generous effervescence and a jujitsu cleverness sparkle through line after line confronting negotiation and compromise, gender and culture, sex and rock music, sons and lovers, truth and beauty, and so forth. From the boy who speaks only in "Kung Fu" dialogue to the guy who visits a lesbian bar and sees his mother, this often funny and always thoughtful book of poems offers fresh, surprisingly frank meditations on the credentials for contemporary manhood.
