Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. GIVE OVER THE HECKLER AND EVERYONE GETS HURT, winner of the St. Lawrence Book Award, investigates the relationship between tragedy and comedy by attending to the humor of everyday, American reality: the droll, satirical, ironic, and absurd. Comprised mainly of short lyrics, which emerged from cross-country travels and residences in rural New England, this book depicts struggles of people and place with the ever-present potential for laughter.
