From the unpredictable author of Seduction by Light, Drowning in the Sea of Love, and Heaven comes this stunning new chapbook packed with unfashionable passion - sexual and social. Adventurous readers weary of the gridlock and stale exhaust of poetry a la mode will enjoy cruising Al Young's backroads and blue highways. Such bewitching selections as "Big Bopper for Beginners", "Hours Before Touchdown in London", "Skin Tight", "Talkback Radio Retold", "A Lizard Considers the Season" and "The Slave Ship Desire" reconfirm what devoted readers have savored for decades: The poetry of Al Young is anything but cool.

Review
It was reedman Eric Dolphy who once said that after you hear music it's gone in the air, that you can never capture it again. But then again, who knows? Maybe with Al Young's help you can. -- Quarterly Black Review

4.0 out of 5 stars
excellent for us all,
By A Customer
This review is from: Conjugal Visits (Paperback)
Al Young has his finger on the pulse of America. The poems are witty, rythmic and telling. Reading Al Young is like listening to a Miles Davis record, smooth and biting in the same instance. Young doesn't pull any punches and seems to expect the same from his audience. The man is a genius. Buy it. Read it. Fall in love.
