Publisher's Synopsis
Shakespeare in the Parka is about surviving raw beauty in its varied forms. Whether it is grief over lost years, a dispossesed world or longing that sinks the hopeful, this experimental collection examines the timeless through the transitory. Seeking to be richly visual as it is full of murmurs, the poems recall several literary and artistic forebears, from Kafka to Pollock to Pynchon. With kaleidoscopic perspective, the pieces fearlessly examine the unevenness of love, the anguish of growing old, the agony of staying young and the unequalled thrill of never leaving home.
