This is a book of jazzy edgy adventuresome poems from the author of Earthquake Weather and Like Cities Like Storms. Ever aware ever vivid ever focused Kleinzahler''s are some of the finest lyrics being produced in American poetry today. Pieces of ordinary talk are Kleinzahler''s strong suit as Helen Vendler observed in Parnassus because they occur in his glancing alert rhythms. . . . [His] jaunty skips and riffs solace the ear. Red Sauce Whiskey and Snow presents an experimental poetry of exceptional wit and control.
