| Description: |
A collection of candid, surreal, and wickedly funny poems and prose. |
| Synopsis: |
"Thom Gunn, Barbara Guest, Robert Creeley, Philip Lamantia, all ghosts now, are invoked without sentiment and with plenty of wry humor." ? Kevin Killian, Attention SpanA power ballad was a hair metal band's voyage into the softer side of rock, compromising to the integrity of the genre, but genuine and trailblazing. So too is Caples's Power Ballads. His poems and prose pieces are bizarre and hilarious, in which Dylan and Bowie sit alongside the French surrealists, with the occasional turn into heartfelt romanticism.From "Garrett Caples Rides Again":my concealed carry personalityhas deformed my trouser contentto the extent my permit permitsi'm shooting off often in publici'm a blow dart in a wind tunnelaimed in the wrong directiona boycotted russian vodka distilleran assdial away from arrestGarrett Caples is the author of the essay collection Retrievals, two books of poetry, The Garrett Caples Reader, Complications, and the pamphlet Quintessence of the Minor.

He is an editor at City Lights Books and curates the Spotlight Poetry Series there. He was also a contributing writer to the San Francisco Bay Guardian. He has written articles and blogged for the Poetry Foundation and occasionally blogs for blogcitylights.com.
