How Much?

New and Selected Poems

Beschreibung

HOW MUCH? offers a panoramic view of a poet whose work has often been a cult-pleasure until now. Spanning Sala's early years as a punk performance poet in Chicago to his career as a copywriter/Creative Director in New York City, these poems offer satiric insights from the "belly of the beast" of commercial and pop culture.
