Download or read book My Brother is Getting Arrested Again written by Daisy Fried and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2006-01-19 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Brother Is Getting Arrested Again celebrates the contradictions and quandaries of contemporary American life. These subversive, frequently self-mocking narrative poems are by turns funny and serious, book-smart and street-smart, lyrical and colloquial. Set in Philadelphia, Paris and New Jersey, the poems are at ease with sex happiness and sex trouble, girl-talk and grownup married life, genre parody and antiwar politics, family warfare and family love. Unsentimental but full of emotion, Daisy Fried's new collection, a finalist for the 2005 James Laughlin Prize, is unforgettable.
