Secure TransactionBook Description
In this outrageous second volume of distinctive poetry, spoken word Slam champ Matt Cook tackles science (Static Electricity), geography (Pittsburgh), and death (Oblong Strongboxes), among other topics. Observing life perceptively both globally (Goat Transaction) and locally (The Man Across the Street), Cook's writing is smart and funny, with a subtext of serious social commentary.
Selections from this book have been heard on Garrison Keillor's Writers Almanac, broadcast on NPR.
