Parts Unknown: Wrestling, Gimmicks and Other Works

Michael Holmes

Insomniac Press, 2004 - Poetry - 84 pages

Once again proving that no subject matter is beyond his poetic grasp, Michael Holmes now takes on the carnivalesque world of professional wrestling. With humour and bone-cracking language, Parts Unknown bridges the artificial trenches that established cultural endeavours have dug between themselves and their "lowbrow" athletic neighbours. These high-flying poems strut to their own music and enter the literary ring ready to rumble.
