Description

The best of Todd Colby’s Soft Skull poetry collections Ripsnort and Cush are here with new poetry and prose.This is simultaneously a Best Of and a launching into new directions for this intensely high-energy poet. He is a spontaneous, lively performer, and a sharp, funny poetic voice. Colby makes serious sport of language, showing its basis in the body’s impulses and its mutable meanings, explained Ann Powers in The New York Times.
