Présentation de l'éditeur

From the introduction: "Why Fargo" you may ask. And I say, you might as well ask "Why oxygen? Why watermelon? Why cats? Why monkeys? Why Sartre? Why candles? Why french fries? Why the I-Ching?" There are many questions which could be asked. Few, if any, will be answered in this book. But I will say this. Damn straight Fargo. Rick Lupert's wry, dry, observational poetry, written during 4 nights in Fargo, North Dakota. A tale of a town, a family and a girl. Lupert's humorous verse delights and heartens as we see Fargo through his eyes. Wander through a field of sunflowers. Be sure to keep your clothes on.
