My Secret Wars of 1984

Description

One of the 2015 Best Books of Poetry selected by The Kansas City Star. Poetry. “To read MY SECRET WARS OF 1984 is to ride an old wooden rollercoaster through a spacious gallery of stained-glass windows, all their colorful shards having been stolen, shattered, then chewed into shape: what we have here are gorgeous and wise assemblages of sharp, scavenged graffiti. Ricocheting from Pac-Man to Topeka to institutional structures to AIDS awareness to Reagan, Dennis Etzel, Jr. masters the skills of fragmentation and disharmony without losing one bit of torque. Sharpen your political acumen on this poetry-memoir of the highest order and discover much pleasure in the process.” Amy King, author of The Missing Museum
