| Publisher Description: Like a good journalist, a diner poet actively seeks an engaging story. But instead of creating cynical narratives filled with grim statistics from leading experts, a diner poet gleans the thoughts of regular folk - the kind who frequent the cafes, truck stops, and doughnut shops of the nation. Whatever is on their minds becomes the canvas for diner poetry. Relationships, faith, politics, dreams, history, and even the Constitution are fair game. God often shows up in Diner Poetry, by reaching down to stir the pot of our corporate slavery or our narrow provincialism. Filled with political insinuation and historic references, the rhythms of Diner Poetry often skips and dances - breathes - and then gallops. |
