From the rear cover
Neighbor Blood, Richard Frost's newest collection of poems, demonstrates a fluid ease within a range of poetic idioms - ballad meter, free verse, the sonnet, and a "dwindling" sestina. Frost, also a jazz musician, writes poems that seem loose, genuine, off-the-cuff - like jazz riffs that just "happen". But in poetry - as in music - Frost has earned his ease with practice. Frost's free verse includes several poems on jazz, which spotlight - and demonstrate - the deceptively casual attitude of syncopated rhythm. "Jazz for Kirby", a long poem at the book's center, for instance, formally echoes the precision - and the necessity - of the jazz drummer and his distinctive diction: "'I mean. A dup, a-dup-a and a-dup-a zit tah./Like when it's a-poppa poppa pie, baby, you carry everything.'" With a matter-of-fact sincerity and endearing self-deprecating humor, Richard Frost surveys childhood mysteries, adolescent angst, family erosions - the lonely comedies of our survival. Tremendously tender, these poems are parables concerned with the moral challenges of everyday life.

Description:
Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.A.: Sarabande Books, 1996. The poems in Neighbor Blood, like the title of the book, are unsettling. The author's unique viewpoint often puts readers into previously uncharted images, such as the speaker so obsessed with order that he lines up the corner of the TV with his dog's ear. 1st edition. Book and jacket are both in very good condition with very light edgewear to the jacket and light foxing to the top page edge. 71 pages, 9 x 6.. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Illus. by None.
