Political outrage rustles the high grasses of these ingenious lyrics, which often employ the ecologies of both the Florida panhandle and the Aegean coast to slyly portray humanity's foibles. Formally inventive (included is a series of "monosonnets"), Wade's is a boisterous poetry, one that takes pleasure in itself even during its conniptions of incredulity at the behavior of people in power (and in particular one dubiously elected president).
