A History of Guns in the Family

Résumé du livre

This is a second impressive collection from John Burgess, following up on his Punk Poems and expanding into an expression, from many viewpoints, of a whole life that moved across the continent, from upstate New York to Washington State and took with it the zen, punk, beat, historical curiosity and unabashed (if ironic) happiness it found on the trip. The free, open and reflectively balanced poems appeal to a wide audience and are often performed by the author with beat-influenced live music.
