Description

"Best-known for his gritty and uproarious prose poetry collection, Letters to Wendy's, Wenderoth began his career with two books of gimlet-eyed, world-weary, hard-hitting poetry. Now he returns to verse, favoring (as before) relatively short poems, often twelve lines or less, most of which crackle with a bleakness that's part gallows humor, part outrage, and part despair."--Publishers Weekly.He is a professor of English at the University of California, Davis.
