Summary "Tony Hoagland captures the recognizably American landscape of a man of his generation: sex, friendship, rock and roll, cars, high optimism, and disillusion. With what Robert Pinsky has called "the saving vulgarity of American poetry," Hoagland's small biographies of destruction reveal that defeat is a natural prelude to grace and loss a kind of threshold to freedom."--EBSCO
