Li'l Bastard. David McGimpsey

A part-time stand-up comedian and songwriter, McGimpsey is widely respected as an excellent, engaging and entertaining performer of his work.The book has a strong American focus, including memorable sequences set in Los Angeles, Nashville and Southwest Texas.From baseball to beer to television, the subjects of these sonnets should have great appeal even to people who don't read poetry. It's terrifically funny.McGimpsey's last book, Sitcom , sold well and garnered an A.M. Klein Prize for Poetry and ReLit Award nomination.
