5.0 out of 5 stars
I highly reccommend The Deathbed Playboy.,
By Kathleen Lynch (Carmichael, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Deathbed Playboy (Paperback)
The Deathbed Playboy is a wonderful read. Dacey's tonal range is wide. The poems are smart, tender, and often funny. Smart, but not pedantic. Tender, but not gooey and manipulative. Funny, but not frivolous. The title poem, "The Deathbed Playboy," is a stunner. The tension between the humor and grief is palpable, and the funny and frantic reflections of the speaker are heartbreaking. So many contemporary books of poetry sound like they were all ghost-written by one glib Writing Workshop star. Dacey has a distinctive voice. It's generous, sly, comic and wonderfully accessible. This one goes on my gift-giving list |
