This is a book of jazzy, edgy, adventuresome poems from the author of
Earthquake Weather
and
Like Cities, Like Storms
. Ever aware, ever vivid, ever focused, Kleinzahler's are some of the finest lyrics being produced in American poetry today. "Pieces of ordinary talk are Kleinzahler's strong suit," as Helen Vendler observed in
Parnassus
, "because they occur in his glancing, alert rhythms. . . . [His] jaunty skips and riffs solace the ear."
Red Sauce, Whiskey and Snow
presents an experimental poetry of exceptional wit and control.
