What is Burn and Dodge (Pitt Poetry Series) about?
Burn and Dodge is part serious/part serious play and opens with a frank and occasionally antic exploration of contemporary vices, such as Guilt, Envy, and Regret. Some poems dodge such preoccupations by playing with a nonce form called sonnet/ghazal. The collection contains a sequence of poems called Current Events, based on newspaper stories. that is also a playful meditation on the nature of the interrogative pronouns (Who, What, Where, When . . . ) as well as another series of homophonic sonnets called Clare-Hewn, which are aural translations of John Clare.
