description: Durcan is at the height of his powers, pushing his talent even further in the world. Fans will recognize their hero in this collection where his zany wit and startling verbal agility are brought to bear against all that is complacent, hypocritical, and fear-making in his society. The poems draw on Durcan's personal knowledge and love of Russia. Critic Terry Eagleton wrote of the poet: "Like all first-class comedians, he is deadly serious".
