Synopsis
David McGimpsey's Dogboy picks up and develops the adventure begun in his last collection, the critically acclaimed Lardcake. These strongly- voiced, characteristically funny poems engage and interrogate contemporary popular culture and wittily establish the province of the loser. With some fresh insight into literary history, this col- lection dares to ask: "Would Yeats approve of the cheeseburger?" And: "What if Milton's Lycidas was a once-hopeful greeting-card writer?"

Review
“David McGimpsey's poetry readings come off as stand-up routines, though it is hard to imagine more laughter in a comedy club . . . Poetry hasn't been this much fun in a long time.” —En-Route Magazine
“Wonderful . . . [P]ack[s] a punch. McGimpsey, on the whole, is witty and nearly brilliant, writing wonderfully readable poems.” —Ottawa X Press
