Beds

by Wade Stevenson

The sixty-two poems gathered here treat the ordinary bed with tenderness, wit, and imagination, transforming it into an ocean, a forest, a rose, an egg, a fountain, a blackboard, a newspaper, a shell, a boat, a battlefield. Each succeeding poem extends the possibilities of language and of love. Each will appeal to many people who have never until now discovered the pleasures of poetry.

all themed about beds. not funny, all serious. not particularly good.

apparently this was his first book and was a NYT best seller. who knew. He is called a "troubador of love." I beg to differ unless he had an extreme increase in his poetic talent.
