The Mandrake says…

Pamela August Russell takes the poetry establishment head-on in her new book of deliberately "bad" verse. In truth, only a gifted and widely-read poet could manage so thorough a deconstruction of the defensive elitism and deliberately abstruse poetic canon. But don't worry about that now, just grab some of your own criminally cringe-worthy couplets and join the author at tonight's open mic celebration of all things simplistic, low-brow, and sketchily rhymed.
