My Brother Is Getting Arrested Again (Pitt Poetry)

by Daisy Fried

My Brother Is Getting Arrested Again (Pitt Poetry) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

My Brother Is Getting Arrested Again celebrates the contradictions and quandaries of contemporary American life. These subversive, frequently self-mocking narrative poems are by turns funny and serious, book-smart and street-smart, lyrical and colloquial. Set in Philadelphia, Paris and New Jersey, the poems are at ease with sex happiness and sex trouble, girl-talk and grownup married life, genre parody and antiwar politics, family warfare and family love. Unsentimental but full of emotion, Daisy Fried's new collection, a finalist for the 2005 James Laughlin Prize, is unforgettable.

Synopsis:

A new more mature Daisy Fried, writing about grown-up problems with the same insouciance and even more range and skill.
