DESCRIPTION

"Tulip Farms and Leper Colonies" is a brilliant and funny motion picture of American life, narrated by Charles Harper Webb, but starring all of us — especially those of us who wince at the word "downsizing," open personal form letters announcing a ten million dollar prize, and watch Laurel and Hardy. In poem after amazing poem, Webb gets it exactly right, his extraordinary vision transforming our words into our world. Here is a book by a major poet of the twenty-first century whose work is both complex and accessible. — Maura Stanton
