About
"From "Hearsay" to "Heresy," these 132 new poems, each consisting of four four-line stanzas, are framed by innuendo and the kind of lively satire found in blues folklore. Komunyakaa looks to nature and configures his own paradigm, in which an event as commonplace as the jewel wasp laying an egg in a cockroach becomes every bit as grand as Zeus's infidelity.". "Yusef Komunyakaa has set himself a rigorous challenge in crafting the lyric poems in Talking Dirty to the Gods. The compression of his chosen form dictates an athletic use of language that engenders constantly surprising and delightful revelations."--BOOK JACKET.
