Par	diodes fan "Beatnik Guy" (Seattle, WA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

Ralph is the poster child for this almost spiritual Beatitude. Dressed in black, pontificating coffee and cigarettes, joy of love and melancholy of sadness, he personifies the ecstatic in many of us who wants to break free from the 9 to 5 day job and beat a drum. (Now that I know about him, he is, in my mind, as essential to the character of Canlit as Carol Shields, and proof positive that Canada's lit scenes have got to share with one another - who knows what else we might be missing out on!)

Not much has been said in reviews about the actual poems; maybe because they're hard to define. Honest peaks into Ralph's world, the theme here is life. Like life, they're many things earthy and urban. It's an oil lamp and a neon sign, but it's all light. Reality of the content is smoothed out and jazzed up by Beatstyle lingo. This makes it palatable to the hip audience who don't want to swallow Shakespearean mouthfuls on their Saturday night.

Don't get me wrong - it's not written in dialect. The beauty of it is that anyone can understand, identify and appreciate, whether you're into the verse of Margaret Atwood or PJ Hunnicut and all in between. It's universal. And yes, there are real shining moments of literary wit and humour.

� Laurie Anne Fuhr, Blue Moon
