Hubcap Collection Plate - Paperback

by Jeffrey Dunn (Author)

Hubcap Collection Plate is the collected poems of backwoods modernist Jeffrey Dunn. The collection is in six parts. "Cup of Joe" is a long poem of personal innocence and American experience. "The Belfast Bodhisattva" imagines Saint Patrick reborn as the Buddhist Belfast Patrick and traveling to Spokane, WA, U.S.A. "No Name Lake Coronach" is Dunn's deep geologic and human lament for his son's loss. "Bad Translations of Max Jacob" are just that. "When Hooker Books" is about love, and "Blake's Meatloaf" is a literary homage Blake, Baudelaire, Picasso, Baudelaire, O'Keeffe, Patti Smith, among others. Accessible, varied, personal, and American as a Blue Plate Special, Hubcap Collection Plate is "chokehcherry pie in the sky."
