In his more recent poems, Dobyns seems obsessed with age, flatulence, and the word &quot;prick.&quot;  When he's not so &quot;male&quot;, older poems like &quot;Oatmeal Deluxe&quot; and &quot;Spiritual Chickens&quot; are brillia...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64340199">more...</a>]]></body>
