Synopsis
The South Dakota Review said: "In some of the most riotously fresh poetry of late, Vincent Barrett Price has established himself as a chanter of the self who demands our earnest attention. At the heart of Price's collection is a bold invitation conveyed so lustily in 'Christmas License," to 'take liberties with you mind.' Closely related to Price's theme of self-exploration is that of faith and commitment exemplified in 'The Minister's New Clothes.' His vision is both dynamic and disarmingly, unabashedly honest. Here indeed is a self-reliant poet, witty and compelling in his joie de vivre, mighty and provocative in his challenging of the sinister or mundate. The illustrations by Rini Price and James P. Rini, haunting in their intensity, are fitting accompaniments to the text."
