~getting away with everything

By Vincent Cellucci and Christopher Shipman

"The bad boys of poetry are back! In this second collaboration we see Vincent Cellucci and Christopher Shipman still enjoying their high jinx, surprising

metaphors, attention to sound and deep investment in place. But they also have grown and deepened; the "former reprobates" now take on fatherhood,

jobs, moving, and aging. ~getting
