Donkey gospel

by Tony Hoagland

Tony Hoagland's effervescence and a jujitsu cleverness sparkle through poems about negotiation and compromise, gender and culture, sex and rock and roll. From the boy who speaks only in "Kung Fu" dialogue to a man visiting a lesbian bar, Hoagland gives a sense of finally being able to tell the truth about the credentials for contemporary manhood.
