On receiving the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1990 for his third book, Transparent Gestures, Rodney Jones was hailed as "a brand-new world-class poet." This collection of poems, rich in irony, sensuousness, and pleasure, reveals his robust, humorous, earthy, and cerebral view of reality and his exploration of all regions and sensibilities of American life.
I've been in the mood for a bit more poetry and found this on my shelves. I'm about halfway through so far, and I'm enjoying it. Have any of you read this, or other Rodney Jones works, before? If so, what were your thoughts?
