| Summary |
In For Dear Life, with accessibility, wit, and humor, Ronald Wallace evokes a wide variety of subjects that range from the traditional themes of lyric poetry-love, death, sex, the natural world, marriage, birth, childhood, music, religion, art-to the most unexpected and quirky narratives-an ode to excrement, a catalogue of comic one-liners, a celebratory testimonial to his teeth. |
