Lucifer at the Starlite: Poems

"Addonizio doesn't do pretty; beneath her considerable wit is a wickedly sharp edge."â€•Library Journal, starred review
With both passion and precision, Lucifer at the Starlite explores lifeâ€™s dual nature: good and evil, light and dark, suffering and moments of unexpected joy. Whether looking outward to events on the world stageâ€•the war in Iraq, the 2004 Asian tsunamiâ€•or inward at struggles with the self, these poems aim at the heart and against the feeling that Lucifer may have already won the day.

from â€œLucifer at the Starliteâ€
Â Â Â Â Â Hereâ€™s my bright idea for life on earth:
Â Â Â Â Â better management. The CEO
Â Â Â Â Â has lost touch with the details. Iâ€™m worth
Â Â Â Â Â as much, but I care; I come down here, I show
Â Â Â Â Â my face, Iâ€™m a real regular. A toast:
Â Â Â Â Â To our boys and girls in the war, grinding
Â Â Â Â Â through sand, to everybody here, our host
Â Â Â Â Â whoâ€™s mostly mist, like methane rising
