Good Kiss

The Good Kiss is a collection of poems dealing loosely with the subjects of divorce, sexuality, and American culture from the 1950s to today. The poems vary in tone from the fairly serious to the reflective and meditative, to the wryly comic. Perhaps it is fair to say that this range of tones exists within many of the individual poems, and is their defining characteristic. Poems like "e;What I Want,"e; and "e;The Good Kiss"e; are good examples of these quirky, rather unexpected tonal shifts and blendings.
