This omnibus from North America's "most redoubtable poet" brings together three previously-published collections: (1974), (1978), and (1994). Like Bukowski, Choo 3T Fish's poetry can be direct and grotesque. Like Kerouac, it is an energetic palliative against yearning and loss. Like Ginsberg, it is infused with an alienated sexuality. His oeuvre is, among other things, lyrical, vigorous, challenging, erudite, confessional, erotic, illuminating ... . And always overflowing with fish. Choo 3T Fish is the recipient of the National Poetry Award in 1974 for , and the Boating Association in 1980.
