Title: Good poetry in the Bukowski/Locklin tradition
Review: I found this book by accident a few years ago at a large bookstore in Kentucky. Even though I've moved a dozen times since then, I've managed to hold on to my copy -- no small thing for someone as disorganized as I am. What can I say? The poems speak to me. My favorite is a little piece called "Credo": "I am / one of those/ who believes different things / on different days." Okay, I did the line breaks from memory and they may be off, but you get the idea. This is poetry for those people who think most English professors and the literature they espouse are full of it. Count me -- and, I suspect, Mr. Kowit -- among that tribe.
