C. Michael Minkoff Jr.

The Landfill of Discount Messiahs C. Michael Minkoff Jr.

This is a book of poetry for people who think they do not like poetry. Continuing in the contemporary tradition of poets like Billy Collins and Tom Lux, Michael Minkoff's first book of poetry has generous helpings of humor, wit, and pathos. But it also explores a deeply conscious commitment to the Christian God that informs an ambivalent intimacy with the thoughts and ways of the world. Warning: Contains "sarcasm," a substance known to the State of California to necessitate "discernment," a substance proven in clinical trials to rankle the status quo.
