Paperback. "Like Cole Porter, Sarah Perrier turns a world-weary and tender gaze toward the unruly carnival we call love. Perrier shrugs off the post-modern shrugs. In these elegant, wise-cracking, and subversive poems, the inherent estrangement, deception, and screwball comedy of romance is revealed and savored. With the smarts and prescience of Lear's fool, with the mischief of both Ariel and Caliban, she gene-slices the comic into the tragic, the tragic into the comic, to make a new and radiantly original poetry." -Eric Pankey Sarah Perrier turns a world-weary and tender gaze toward the unruly carnival we all love. In these poems, the inherent estrangement, deception, and screwball comedy of romance is revealed and savoured.
