Oyster Perpetual : Poems

Austin LaGrone’s poetic persona is a reckless, brazen, in-your-face funny man who is always talking some kind of wild jive that deploys itself in acts of original language and sheer verbal genius rarely available in contemporary American poetry. The poems in Oyster Perpetual are fresh, canny, rowdy, tender, outrageous, gaudy, and laugh-out-loud funny, often all at once.
