I love the fresh view of these cultural icons with a twist of humorous narrative. Red Dragonfly Press did a wonderful job printing it--high quality work and worth the price.
I could read "Late Night TV" over and over and over again until everything settled to dust. Seriously.

Out of print. For a new chapbook by Dorianne Laux, go tohttp://www.reddragonflypress.org/musi...to pre-order Dark Charms, Red Dragonfly Press, 2010
