Fields of Satchmo

by Michael J. Vaughn

Michael J. Vaughn takes on the pedestrian world of modern poetry with works that dance, joke, take hairpin turns, and produce unforgettable images: an iguana chasing down a pack of wild poodles, a stingray discovered on a suburban driveway, and the title poem, a massive compression of slavery America and the birth of jazz. Twenty-eight of the works in this collection have appeared in literary journals around the world.
