This collection of poems by Jim Irons, set in two sections with an interlude and a coda, charts the life of a poet who has lived under the radar most of his adult life. Edgy and dark, these poems–many autobiographical–display wry wit in the vein of Frank O’Hara.
Irons wears his poetic heart on his sleeve–from Lowell to Bukowski to O’Hara to Plath–such influences have informed the life of a poet and teacher. Starting as a jock in high school then moving to a life of job hopping, he has worked many of the jobs poets find themselves doing to pay for food and rent, if not a mortgage. Irons’ CV includes thinning trees and fighting fires with the forest service, painting houses, sportswriting, driving a cab in San Francisco and working in a bookstore on Haight and Ashbury, to finally settling into teaching English at the College of Southern Idaho.
While teaching, Irons was chosen as Idaho’s Writer in Residence (2001-2004) from a selection panel that included Annie Proulx.
