The poems of "Anti-Realism in Shadows at Suppertime" attempt a broad panorama including free verse, poetry prose, and metric poetry - both including serious and comedy. In analytic philosophy, anti-realism is a position which encompasses many varieties such as metaphysical, mathematical, semantic, scientific, moral and epistemic. The author is to attempting to describe a poetry of similar to an "anti-realism."Michel Delville, the author of a major critical work on prose poetry, The American Prose Poem: Poetic Form and the Boundaries of Genre (University Press of Florida, 1998), said of Dickey: "Whether it's a poem about (or around) Mark Rothko's painting Yellow Band or a prose poem about 'Mowing the Lawn' that pauses with Husserl's phenomenology, Dickey's poetry is grounded in a recognition that, to quote Sherwood Anderson, 'each truth [is] a composite of a great many vague thoughts,' all equally beautiful and disturbing, somber and happy."Nin Andrews writes of Dickey's They Say This Is How Death Came… Read More

WIRES OVER THE HOMEPLACE is a late eighteenth-century Pennsylvania frontier of ancestors clearing fields across America to raise young families and new generations. It's also a coming-of-age story for a postmodernist computer programmer retiree in the early twenty-first century writing his second book of poetry. Somewhere it may contain a story snatched from your own heart. WIRES happens in places that once were prairies, wheat fields, ball fields, hospital waiting rooms, and schools-and occupied by jack rabbits, snakes, and rusted tractors in the fields. The only constant may be the dark birds perched on the wires. The cinematography is Dickeyville, Wisconsin; Iowa; Wichita; Oklahoma; and Omaha. At this very minute, or perhaps the moment you start to read, the book means what it says, which is a Great Plains value. In the book though, much will happen and meaning can't always be rigidly predicted and controlled. You'll drive the I-80 Interstate through Iowa and buy nails or a bucket of paint in an… Read More

This is no ordinary book of easy limericks dashed off in five seconds and to be forgotten in ten. These are thoughtful, unbelievably clever, and gut busting limericks any Mother's son of a liberal will love. You may even say they sound like THE TRUTH.But be careful. The author who actually is a university instructor in critical reasoning gives you a bonus in an intriguing brief essay and even a helpful, critical thinking guide to contextualize limericks (and humor in general) for the intelligent person who might be inclined either to fall for the rhetoric, or, on the other hand, to dismiss limericks as "merely" rhetoric (They are, but ...)As a further bonus, the author (with tongue firmly in cheek) discusses in another brief essay the history and nature of limericks and provides a background of classic limericks (mostly anonymous but also including some Great Poets) to give you context and background to enhance your experience in reading Liberal Limericks.
