Joel Allegretti - Father Silicon (Paperback)

JOEL ALLGRETTI. FATHER SILICON. Here is one of the most startling books of poetry since Baudelaire. Joel Allegretti, author of The Plague Psalms, has been up to no good since his first book, and this new book goes darker and deeper still, delving into such delicate topics as The Juggernaut, Mother Julian of Norwich, Eurydice as Greta Garbo, Nico, spiders, the Gallows Tree, the horrors of 9/11, and “Billy the Whore: An Encomium in Nine Infections.”

Father Silicon was picked by The Kansas City Star as one of the ten most notable poetry books of 2006.

Published 2006; third printing 2009. 72 pages, 6.5 x 10.25 inches. ISBN 0-922558-18-3.
