Book Description
In comical and complex poems, David Kirby examines our extraordinarily human condition through the lens of our ordinary daily lives. These keenly observant poems range from the streets of India, Russia, Turkey, and Port Arthur, Texas, to the imaginations of fellow poets Keats and Rilke, and to ruminations on the mundane side of life via the imperfect sandwich. Whether remembering girls' singing groups of the 1950s or recounting a child asking his priest if his dog would go to heaven, Kirby has the ability to make us laugh, but he can also bring us to tears through our laughter.

Book Description
The perspective of this collection of poems is primarily that of a mother dealing with the many disabilities that someone in her life may have and that of the child himself or herself. Mothers have always had it tough. From the days of Adam & Eve, mothers have always faced challenges and fears that fathers either ignore, "delegate," or simply find a solution without any thought or emotion. But mothers...they are wired differently from the moment they realize they're expecting. A new instinct kicks in. And when a disability enters the joys of parenthood, the mother becomes a new form of superhero that the world is a better place because of her.

Book Description
Poetry. African American Studies. LGBT Studies. PLEASE explores the points in our lives at which love and violence intersect. Drunk on its own rhythms and full of imaginative and often frightening imagery, PLEASE is the album playing in the background of the history and culture that surround African American/male identity and sexuality. Just as radio favorites like Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway, and Pink Floyd characterize loss, loneliness, addiction, and denial with their voices, these poems' chorus of speakers transform moments of intimacy and humor into spontaneous music. In PLEASE, Jericho Brown sings the influence soul culture has on American life with the accuracy of the blues.
