Carpeing the Diem: Poems about High School

Research output: Book/ReportBook

Abstract

David Lee Garrison executes, with cavalier ease and elegance, two dozen poems about high school. Though their situations and characters are familiar (high school is one of the most conventional and predictable of American institutions), the poems are always fresh, and the poet’s deployment of form and rhyme, as well as his take on urban legend, are a delight, ‘Terre Haute’ and ‘Hook Man’ being especially delicious.
