No One Doubts a Belly Laugh - a review

 

No One Doubts a Belly LaughNo One Doubts a Belly Laugh by Jason Farley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A slim but savory collection of poems organized around the 7 Medieval “planets,” Farley dishes some great phrases while often hinting delightfully at biblical truth. Often best read aloud, just a few at a time.

A sample:
Garden of Eden, and Garden of Eve, too.
Grace there to meet through, and strong grace to cleave to.
The birthright of beauty dickered for sweat-filled duty.
The image of God has become serpent-booty.
