Waifs and Strays

Poetry

Micah Ballard

Authors: Micah Ballard
Print type: BOOK

Description:

In the sixth publication in the City Lights Spotlight Poetry Series, Cajun poet Micah Ballard's *Waifs and Strays* recombines the allure, fixations, and diction of the metaphysical poets with the alert and streetwise urban fracturing and amazements instantaneous in contemporary San Francisco. With the haunted elegance of Charles Baudelaire and the handmade warmth of *Semina*, *Waifs and Strays* is a rejection of a slick and disposable culture.
