Recensioner i media

Malls and multiple subdivisions squat on grandpa's farm, mules gone to glue, then up sprouts this callused and sweaty book, poems more doublewide than skinny, ready to sock it to the video arcades. What we got here, folks? A Bible for scarecrows? A green weed in a black crack in Wal-Mart's bad dream? A benediction and a prophecy (a fading-in-out radio station buzzsawing). The only question the good people have is: How come nothing here by the great D. C. Berry?
