Caldecott - Tapa blanda

"Penned by a night watchman, this collection of poems explores the netherworld of American society and offers a vision of modern decay and loss of values. Elements depicting the corruption of virtue and the separation of social barriers are fused with a wry and somewhat grotesque humor. A mixture of fantasy and double-entendre reveal a second level of meaning in ordinary objects and events, moving the criticism of darkness to a special appreciation of society's dregs. Particular focus is given to the complex choices made in the service of art."
