    <![CDATA[Exulting in the speech of his native Alabama, Rodney Jones's new poems combine satire and ode, formal lament and ribald joke. James Dickey praised this poet's early work as &quot;one of our most poignant and inescapable renditions of the agony at the historical razor's edge.&quot; Now, in his sixth book, Jones extends his emotional and stylistic range. He writes of football and feminism, of DDT and family, of crows and sex, of ink and raccoons and perpetual-motion machines. In many of these poems the southern drawl lives forever, riding on the tide of regional language, poking fun yet delighting in it.]]>

    <![CDATA[This expansive and accessible collection presents one hundred choice poems, including twenty-four bold new pieces, from one of America&#8217;s &#8220;best, most generous, and most brilliantly readable poets&#8221; (Poetry). In the tradition of William Faulkner and Sherwood Anderson, Rodney Jones conjures an America that betrays stereotyping. Playing the tension between history and modernity, his poems arise where, as James Dickey put it, &#8220;the agrarian and industrial civilizations stand face to face, equally bewildered.&#8221;]]>

    <![CDATA[Rodney Jones' poems will capture you first by their humor and familiarity--on a second reading their deeper significance will begin to sink in. Their meaning is sparked in quick bites and tied together with a vital energy, creating scenes that are familiar, yet which always manage to invoke new shades of perception. Not content with a simply visual awareness, Jones takes the reader to a place where intuition can flourish. A ramble through this winner of the 1989 National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry is sure to provoke a second reading--silent or aloud. ]]>

    <![CDATA[With Kingdom of the Instant, Rodney Jones delivers a collection of poems that address both transcendent and profane aspects of the American South, art and politics, poverty and privilege. Always engaging, Jones &quot;shows the intensity of his loving regard for every aspect of life, from the grit of the earth to the silk of the skin and all that churns in the mind&quot; (Donna Seaman, Booklist).]]>

    <![CDATA[Apocalyptic Narrative and Other Poems offers a poignant look at the American landscape: factories, restaurants, farms, empty fallout shelters, glorified malls, and transfigured filling stations scattered across the land. This collection oscillates from the personal to the political, from the religious to the secular, never losing sight of the possibility of joy.]]>

    <![CDATA[Rodney Jones is trying to capture the subtleties of lost moments in these poems, and it's a formidable challenge. The poet seems to be saying &quot;look how strange life is!&quot; Nobody could make up this stuff. The hippie driving through Alabama helps an accident victim, who then makes a pass at the young man, mistaking him for a woman. The wildest, freest boy in a group of friends never bends to authority and so winds up in prison. In &quot;After Workshop,&quot; Jones writes of moving from the writing workshop, where one might dream of writing well enough to capture life's complexities, back into &quot;the unrevisable world.&quot; These excellent poems are unflinching, brave, funny, and self-aware.]]>
