Synopsis

NOTHING TO LAUGH ABOUT is a compilation of Larry Goodell's poems from 2015, "Voice In The Round" and poems from 2016, "Comic Invasion." The poet's drawings are integral to the poems.

"I was not a serious contender in the word-scalpel department nor did I fling my phonetics before the feet of the Kings of Academia. I was locked outside the gates with my feeble inaccuracies, my hodge-podge of innovation wondering, why did it all seem so real? There was loneliness and beauty of hills, nature, rocks, arroyos. What wrote itself out of me under the ancient cottonwood and troublesome box elder was the form it took when there was no denial of the back of my head. The other side of everything spoke like a dance in the plaza. I could only come up with the set of my surroundings the set of nature, the set of my desk, the windows, the patio flagstones the volcanic vista which reflected my coming of age later than usual, the music and the dance of my youth formulating a 360° now – I could never be mono but plural as I was starved for affection and the warmth of companionship when it came and the teachers who broke through reality gave me a voice in the round." - Larry Goodell

Mia Kirsi Stageberg: "I have to tell you that I never knew the breadth, intensity and power of what you've been writing. . . . I'm not sure I've ever seen a more creative and just use of reasonable rage!"

John Nichols: "You get my vote as one of the great ones! You got moxie, humor, politics, and you’re crazy like a dancing Fox!"
