The Spokes of Venus [Paperback]

Magicians, wig makers, sculptors, perfumers, choreographers, and composers all help conjure the worlds of Franks second collection, The Spokes of Venus. These poems offer a landscape shaped by the tensions between the act of making and the art of observing. If music and art are the sisters of poetry, this collection is a chorusa glorious oneof siblings arguing and singing.
