Dumber: Poems
What do you propose, a marriage?
It can be arranged, I hear...
Mark Pirie's new collection laments that our culture is getting
'dumber' and thus presents poems that are both parodic and
purposely 'dumb'.
Written in the frame of a mock conversation with God, it covers
wide ground: religion, history, literature, people and places, and
in doing so reveals once more the complexities and the absurdities
affecting our everyday lives.
