This collection is a love letter to language with poems that are
drunk and filled with references to the hyperkinetic world of the
twenty-first century. Yet Zeus and Hera tangle with Leda on the
interstate; Ava Gardner becomes a Hindu princess; and Shiva, the
Destroyer, reigns over all. English is the primary god here, with
its huge vocabulary and omnivorous gluttony for new words, yet the
mystery of the alphabet is behind everything, a funky puppet
masterwho can make a new world out of nothing.
