4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent sophomore effort,
By Zach (Logan, UT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Way Back (Paperback)
Wyn Cooper's second volume of poetry is a well-rounded, fun collection that draws the reader with its exciting, off-the-wall, and sometimes bizarre work. Cooper has always been a very accessible poet and this book is no different. Included are new poems such as "Gaposis" and the time tested "Fun" that was the basis for Sheryl Crow's hit song in 1994. The body is of work in this book is sometimes fun, sometimes profound, and sometimes a little frightening, but it is always good. He delves into the minds and hearts of those whose view of reality is a little skewed, and the reader is more often that not held spellbound by the world his journey reveals. Prepare to spend time with Sid and Nancy, a woman named Catfish, a grumpy Robert Frost, and two guys who "just want to have a little fun."
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: The Way Back (Paperback)
This is a great book of poetry. It includes a great selection of poems by Cooper and I enjoyed reading it through and coming back to various favorites again and again. The selections are bright, polished and make you want to read them aloud. If you are looking for some contemporary poetry, give this a try. As an aside, one of the poems is the basis of the lyrics in a pretty popular pop song of the 90's.
