WILLIAM MINOR'S flabby preludes for a dog

With Flabby Preludes for a Dog, William Minor continues to chart the magnitude of the miniature. These 121 poems are erudite and accessible, serious and often seriously funny. His I-less, anti-poetic, minimalist touch is unmistakable, a writer who rewards close, slow, savorful reading. This is his fifth book of poetry. He lives in Los Angeles.
