Country Club

These poems blur personal and corporate relations, salute lobby art, and mind their mid-apocalypse manners in mosquito country, freewheeling across state lines, equally at home in the halls of head office, lounging poolside, and marooned on a rural route.

A wilderness of traditional and nontraditional forms, rebel rhyme, and irresistible lines, this dexterous collection is a swaggering beast with a palm-treed soul, ruthlessly pursuing the whole hog of all elsewhere with eloquent delinquency.

Andy McGuire's poems have appeared in Arc, CV2, Vallum, Riddle Fence and Hazlitt. He lives in Toronto, Ontario.
