Poetry

Matt Cook

Authors: Matt Cook
Print type: BOOK

Description:

"In this outrageous second volume of distinctive poetry, spoken word Slam champ Matt Cook tackles science ("Static Electricity"), geography ("Summary of Pittsburgh"), and death ("Oblong Strongboxes"), among other topics. His vision is that of the blue-collar Midwest, observing life perceptively globally ("Goat Transactions") and locally ("The Man Across the Street"). Quirky and humorous, with a subtext of serious social commentary, Cook's writing redefines the boundaries of poetic tradition."--Jacket.
