In this remarkable compilation of letter-poems, Dockins is a darkly comic contemporary Whitman-his language as rich and stunning, his reach as exuberant and far-ranging. From the hilariously poignant opening missive to Santa Claus to the final lines of 'Letter to Sanders from Academia'-his zany critique of (among other things) academia and corporate America-this book will carry you on a brilliant and wildly magnificent ride.\" Beth Gylys, Spot in the Dark \"The thousand injuries of wasting through nearly eight years-eight years - between books by Mike Dockins  I have grown thin and ragged. O how the insufferable suffering of the universe has screamed-no, yawped-for this. It was well worth the wait. America's book reviewers take note upon your iPads: here's the language laid brutally honest and crankified. Find and grip tiny thesauri to discover violent verbs that describe this assault: a pummeling, whomping, pugilating new collection.\" Jamie Iredell, I Was a Fat Drunk Catholic School Insomniac\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 122\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.29 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 21, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47418234306738,"sku":"9781936196494","price":23.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/4706aba35dd9635b439f1ccefcfe4621.webp?v=1778446879","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/letter-to-so-and-so-from-wherever-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
