Farrago Barry Ergang

Prefer your poetry accessible rather than impenetrable? You've come to the right book! FARRAGO contains a hodgepodge of accessible poems, both light and humorous as well as dark and serious, rhymed and unrhymed, formal and free, most of which won't require you to be the poet's psychologist or a mind-reader, or have a Ph. D in Literature to understand. Included are parodies of "Jabberwocky" and "Prufrock"--the latter slightly bawdy--a comic poem about a rabbit in the meter of Poe's "The Raven," as well as more serious works, among which are tributes to Raymond Chandler and others.
