Print type: BOOK

Description:

"Fluid, lively, and referential, 10 Mississippi samples language from many cultural tributaries, performing sequels of celebrated twentieth-century poems, darkly riffing on advertising slogans, tongue twisters, formulaic news reports, and everyone<U+2019>s favorite twenty-six-letter sentence, “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” Like the proverbial river that is never the same twice, Healey<U+2019>s poems channel the constant transformation of the modern world and embrace the human drama in all its absurd variety." --Publisher.
