Title: Dirty Diablo
Review: I discovered this work one evening in a bookstore about twenty-fiveyears after it was first published and was struck by the first poem ofthe work entitled "Nurse Whitman" about poet Walt Whitman and his exploits in military hospitals during the American Civil War. While I do notremember much else of the controversial work, the first poem seemedto set the tone for the entire volume with its violent theme of war(the Civil War) and exploiting Whitman's alleged homosexuality witha bit of sexual innuendo. Themes of sex and violence permeate thiswork and, as the title suggests, casts a satanic spell over the genre.
