Jenkins, Louis

New and selected prose poems, including all poems from Nice Fish, the play.
 The poems Tin Flag are as solid and smooth as a Lake Superior stone you read one out loud and you want to keep turning it over in your mind, knowing it is the key to something just beyond the horizon. I especially like the way they combine humor and heartbreak so that neither one overwhelms the other. Louis Jenkins is our Dostoevsky, our Chekhov. He tells us where we ve been and helps us imagine where we might be going. It s nice to have the poems from the play, Nice Fish, gathered together, and it s good to see that Louis Jenkins s Magnum Opus is well underway.

Tin Flag: New and Selected Prose Poems

A collection of ten stories, each of which revolves around a car that materializes up north as winter and its hardships give way to spring. It's finally safe, when the salt is off the road, to take out that automotive treasure you've kept faithfully in the garage, and go for a spin.
