- Book Synopsis
- The Winter Dance Party lays out, not someone's entire life, but that person's life as a poet. This enthralling, career-spanning book by the National Book Award finalist David Kirby is made up mainly of new poems along with a generous number of older ones alternating with one another in nine sections that proceed, not chronologically, but more like chapters in a surreal memoir, with long poems followed by short poems, exploratory formats next to more traditional ones, straightforward poems cheek by jowl with ones that are more allusive.
- About The Author

His many books include Little Richard: The Birth of Rock 'n' Roll, described by the Times Literary Supplement as ""a hymn of praise to the emancipatory power of nonsense.""
