Arizona poet Dick Bakken is one of the most dynamic performers of poetry in this country. His readings are intense, mesmerizing. His poetry has appeared in a variety of journals and has been recorded on radio and CD. He is a poet in the true oral tradition. At the same time, his poems hold up as well on the page as they do on the stage. But you need to gulp them with energy. These are not sweet, relaxing poems, not poems for bedtime or for lazing away an afternoon. They constitute Bakken's selected life's work, 1963 to 2013. They hit hard and are not easy to forget.
