Description
Sweet Betsy from Pike is Stan Rogal's first book of poetry. "It's as though Stan Rogal had snuck up on a whole regiment of stock cultural myths and assumption, armed only with folksong, imaginative muscle, abundant mother wist, and a wicket talent for subversive wordplay: it's the surprise that enlivens; the trickster's art." - Don McKay
