Showdown with a Cactus: Poems Chronicling the Prickly Struggle Between the Forces of Dubya-Ness and Enlightenment

by Louis Daniel Brodsky

Poetry. While history may withhold its judgment of President George W. Bush, for several more years, Brodsky, in SHOWDOWN WITH A CACTUS, sees no reason to wait. In 101 poems, he relentlessly questions the motives behind the foreign and domestic policies of our forty-third president, with special attention paid to the disastrous military excursion into Iraq. "Brodsky has done it again. These witty poems combine his usual lyricism with sharp political observations. They are a must for all who love poetry and who are concerned about the direction the Bush administration has taken this country"--Noel Polk.
