Optimism Blues: Poems Selected and New

by Michael McIrvin

Poetry. "Michael McIrvin's analysis of the modern American psyche is far beyond almost any other living U.S. poet. His poems are among the best informed and most intelligent you'll find. In fact, McIrvin's vision quest and its resultant insights into the complexities of human nature and the natural world exceed what most poets can ever hope to achieve"--Leonard Cirino.
