Irreverent when it’s called for, deceptively accessible, and entwined with a storyteller’s narrative, The Lucky Ones is a blend of personal and global chronicles, fine-tuned with a relentless and memorable cadence. An immediate follow-up to Outré Cantata: poems selected and new, this brand-new volume of verse embodies the ethos of contemporary tragicomedy which has marked several other recent releases by this contumacious poet, such as Urban Burlesque, You’re Dead After School, and Bombs Away, Dream Baby.
