Riffs

"On the occasion of the publisher's 40th anniversary, Brick Books presents this new edition of Dennis Lee's pivotal mid-career classic ... Riffs is a story of a passionate love affair, told in vintage Lee style - with whoops, deep chords, and headlong improvisational arcs. We hear Bach, Bo Diddley, Bird; the news is heartache and being. Celebratory, claustrophobic, the poem tracks ways in which eros and our lives are made mutually accountable."--Provided by publisher.
