Mondo cane

Composed like a 'mondo cane' shockumentary, the collection records real deaths of acquaintances, break-ups and departures, and watches the poet's own responses to them without pity. It mocks confessional poetry while exposing both the media's appetite for looking and the weaknesses of an increasingly sick body, and shifts constantly between ironic distance and shocking close-up.
