Synopsis
These poems span a wide range of subjects, including love and death, pathos and humor, and the extraordinary dimensions of such deceptively ordinary topics as "Women Married to Houses," "The Tractor Driver's Funeral," and "When the Buck or Two Steakhouse Changed Hands." McDougall combines rich wit and irony with keen insight into the human condition.
