Synopsis

No Great Shakes is the second offering of poetry by Canadian writer, Hank Ferragudo. Served up like a mix-tape gumbo, the collection veers from the intrinsically intimate to the ridiculously fictional -- and everywhere in between. Observation & longing, love, lust & sex, betrayal & depression, recognition, acceptance & aspiration (and the COVID-19 pandemic); marinated with a bittersweet beauty. Poetry written outside of the world of social media likes & influence.
*Mature readers only.

Social Media Darling

I couldn’t worry that
my lines ran
longer than 3 to 5
and wouldn’t fit on a
throw cushion
in a nice suburban home
or laid out over
pink sunsets
on
Instagram
spouting platitudes, gratitude(s), AFFIRMATIONS
empower meant
or
LOVE
because they were never about
The Medium
or
The Audience
other than the bastard
I watch brushing his teeth
most days.
