Description

John Wing Jr. brings us his third book of poems where the unique poetic voice of John Wing Jr. emerges stronger and more original. Wing has a remarkable command of language and of the "special line" which is the hallmark of the comedian. His poetry is totally individual and a delight to read -- quietly or aloud.
