Talking to Stanley on the Telephone

More about the book

Talking to Stanley on the Telephone rummages through the desires, frustrations and waning faculties of old age. The stories it tells add up to a vivacious celebration of life-spans and the darkening comedy of growing old. Unapologetic, lustful, resigned, almost politically these poems story the desires, frustrations and waning faculties of old age with unexpected hilarity, and infer what happens when the end is over.
