Hardscrabble: Poems
Playful and rich, formally inventive, funny and wry, Kevin McFadden's poems examine American identity through the latent possibilities of language. Transforming empty spans of interstate and inconspicuous small towns into landscapes fertile with wordplay and rampant with irony, McFadden makes letters themselves rearrange and conspire against commonplaces.

this guy, i tell ya. so much word play in these poems. "Horseplay behooves me." that was more of a pun, but there are lots of those too. and anagrammatics.
