Doughty\u0026amp;;s poems are at once absurdist and matter-of-fact; the images he conjures are thrown into high relief through cutting wordplay. In a series of prose poems about showbiz  he reimagines Cookie Monster as a burned-out suicide  and cheesy talk-show host Joe Franklin as a cross-dressing witness to the apocalypse. And in For Charlotte  Unlisted \u0026amp;; he wrenchingly tracks the elusive memory of a faded romance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67932316172341,"sku":"ByrdShop_1887128719","price":57.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781887128711.jpg?v=1794223684","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/slanky-9781887128711","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
