520    From North Dakota, where "emptiness / takes up a lot / of 
       space," to Alabama, where a mother offers "nothing / Less 
       than plenty," David Starkey's poems mark him as nothing 
       less than a "fool / For life." His book gives us a 
       fireworks display of creativity as varied and strange as 
       the states it conjures. We scoot along here in a word-RV 
       bound for just about everywhere, from North Carolina, 
       which possesses, so Starkey claims, an atomic peanut 
       (while Texas doesn't, but provides blowing sage) to D.C., 
       memorable for kids in the backseat who won't shut up, to 
       Connecticut centered on "publish or perish" at Yale. The 
       wonders here depend on constant shifts of focus: sometimes
       the poems inhabit personae -- Thoreau, Sojourner Truth, 
       Elvis (not in Tennessee but in Wisconsin) -- sometimes 
       they speak for the poet as memoir; always they surprise 
       and thrill with their oddity of attack, their tart-voiced 
       fearlessness, their range of subject as vast as the great 
       country they so fully evoke. -- Barry Spacks, Santa 
       Barbara Poet Laureate.
