520 |a "In a world where upside-down politics dovetails with the carnivalesque, a love triangle unfolds between a belligerent Rooster, a happy-go-lucky meth-addicted Dog, and a gender-fluid Crow. Nason's sixth poetry collection goes to the extremes of the creative mind to depict a world that is real and surreal, a place where women, men, and animals shape-shift and trade places, intermingle within each other's feathers, coats, and skin. Sometimes these characters are the masters of decadence and desire, other times they question the very worlds they've invented. "Rooster Wears Stilts to the Pride Parade," depicts a self-righteous, party-pooper bird shouting: "Lower your banners, swallow your whistles! To hell with this stream of green, blue and youth." Rooster, Dog, Crow follows the Trump campaign to an apocalyptic finale. In "Flame," Rooster, high up on stilts, claims that he "learned to swallow flames/ by watching Hillary Clinton in a bright red suit deflect Trump's abuse and lies." Rooster says, Clinton "leaned into the gap/ of the next question as if the floor were/ about to part, as if she were about to be/ swallowed - red and burning and whole." This collection asks the reader to abandon fear and commit to a life that is ecstatic with risk. Nason insists that the only wrong is an unexplored life. He invites one and all to join the parade with its full range of costumed marchers, banal banners, and erogenous, music-thumping floats."--  |c Provided by publisher.
