Description
For years, Randall
Mann has been hailed as one of contemporary American poetry's most daring
formalists, expertly using craft as a way of exploring racy subjects with trenchant
wit and aplomb. His new collection, Proprietary,
depicts with the insights of a longtime insider the culture of corporate
America, in which he's worked for years, intertwined with some of his
tried-and-true subjects, including gay life in the wildly disparate worlds of
San Francisco and northern Florida.
