Description: "In Hot Popsicles, his new collection of prose poems, parables, and flash fictions, Charles Harper Webb displays to the fullest those qualities that make him one of the most exciting poets in America. Metaphors of startling aptness and originality, a voice at once endearing and provocative, high musicality, propulsive energy, wild imaginative leaps, as well as mastery of diction from lyricism to street-speak, join with qualities of the best fiction - fascinating characters, intriguing premises and conflicts, strong narrative drive, and psychological depth - to create a reading experience of the first order."--Jacket.
