Lehr\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dark Lord of the Tiki Bar is Quincy R. Lehr's ferocious new collection, his first book since 2014's Heimat. Frequently laugh-out-loud funny but always dead serious, these poems are topical, allusive, angry, and often satirical, but with a vulnerable emotional core. Lehr's verse avoids easy sloganeering, but one can shake one's fist to its indignant cadences. Political without didacticism, emotional without sentimentality, and formal without a whiff of archaism, The Dark Lord of the Tiki Bar evokes a place where Biblical figures rub shoulders with Aleister Crowley, where kitsch insinuates itself into the Classics, and where the bar is open a bit later than is strictly advisable. It is a book to stir the imagination and make the bozos cry like little children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 84\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 30, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51796565426464,"sku":"9781939574114","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/7b1d57028f7c68b96f0546fe7f8baff0.webp?v=1780761840","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-dark-lord-of-the-tiki-bar-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
