Irony and Irreverence - Michelle Hartman - Bog

In this, her second full collection of poems, Michelle Hartman continues the breathtakingly honest, articulate, insightful, bawdy, hilarious, revelatory, and incomparably zany diatribe which she so poignantly launched with Disenchanted and Disgruntled. Nothing escapes her incisive, ironic eye, not even her own hallowed art of poetry. No other poet would even attempt to blend such unlikely elements as mistresses, Robert Hass, social injustice, Pavlov, adultery, Ted Cruz, inbreeding, Buddha, feminism, John Donne, legal chicanery, W. S. Merwin, Chupacabra, and countless additional and disparate ingredients into a "poetic stew" so gourmet and delectable.
