Talking to Stanley on the Telephone

Talking to Stanley on the Telephone rummages through the desires, frustrations and waning faculties of old age. The stories it tells add up to a vivacious celebration of life-spans and the darkening comedy of growing old. Unapologetic, lustful, resigned, almost politically incorrect: these poems story the desires, frustrations and waning faculties of old age with unexpected hilarity, and infer what happens when the end is over.
