John Poch Two Men Fighting with a Knife In spite of its rueful undercurrent of mortality, Two Men Fighting with a Knife is one of the wittiest books I have read in years, full of an active thrust and parry. John Poch mines these poems from a rich vein of American vernacular. He's a raconteur of Texas and "the old west ins and outs," offering a range of moods from anger to hilarity and grief, hewing close to actual lives, surprising us with crackerjack phrasing and vital talk. Who would have thought poetry could have the seriousness of a knife fight staged with such comic aplomb? |
