A new collection that oscillates between erudition and slapstick, from Virgil and Dante to a man who juggles his eyeballs.
The poems of I Could Have Been More Wrong come out of nowhere to proclaim eccentric half-truths with deceptive simplicity. Declaring that the spirit of life is the spirit of play, Kevin McCaffrey delights in confronting the cacophonies of experience and trying to make them rhyme.
These verses, mostly set in traditional forms, draw energy from the joy of singing out, almost spontaneously, about the sometimes quirkily ordinary vicissitudes of being.
Kevin McCaffrey has published a novel, Nightmare Therapy, and a 2014 volume of poetry, Laughing Cult. His poems have appeared in Exquisite Corpse, the Trib Talk section of the Texas Tribune, and Writer’s Almanac: all venues that became defunct not long after his work appeared. He lives in South Hadley, Massachusetts. Dana DuMont is an artist, illustrator, and educator based in Richmond, Virginia. She exhibits and teaches regionally, and enjoys collaborating on projects such as the 2018 paint restoration of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History RCA “Nipper” Window. When not communing with dogs, she might be found eco printing, repurposing thrift store media, or carving fruit.
