Blarney Stoned by lars palm

“lars palm is the master of the short poem kicked into high register as his vision roller skates across a linguistic landscape that begin and end with '& talking & talking & talking some/more.' palm’s blarney is not just stoned with wild visions but is kissed by song lyrics, and a hurt caused by a global society that is in need of some serious emergency surgery to save itself from its own excesses of injustice and horror. But rather than writing a collection of sober proscriptions to cure what ails us, the poet crafts poems of humor residing inside the pain. blarney stoned is striated with a fair share more than 'a bit about the anatomy of/nonsense.' We can’t ask for more to help us live in these mad times.”
