Typical Tragedies: A Book of Poetry - Paperback

by Patrick Ashe (Author)

From Patrick Ashe, longtime writer and recently published novelist, now comes a collection of poetry spanning 21 years. While often brooding and expressive, Ashe's poetry goes for society's jugular while yearning for its heart, leaving sardonic questions and sincere affections in its wake. Inspirations span poetry giants like W.B. Yeats and Sylvia Plath as well as rock greats like Leonard Cohen and Trent Reznor. "Hear the sound of the Truth / In the stuttering of forced feat / The feckless tries and holy cries / Of failure propped on honored seat."
