Inhaltsangabe

Poetry. Croation Literature. In his third solo book with Harbor Mountain Press, Mario Susko's wit and precision are on display with ferocity: "It's hard to be / a transient / in one's literature' / I walk the streets, / carrying a travel bag with things one / throws in when not expecting to return," and "I have overdosed on words, those that were / supposed to keep the past in remission." His facility for language is like no other. In Susko's lines, poetry is redeemed.
