I should add
the cover photograph is by me
Let\’s read what Gray Jacobik writes about my brother\’s book:
\”I love this book! Dennis Barone is a genius.
The verbal, rhetorical, gestural, imaginative resources he orchestrates–
or is it choreographs?–or is it paints–in
On The Bus: Selected Stories,
exhilarate at every turn
(riffs, digressions, conflations, elaborations, subtractions, puns, and so on),
tumble forth pell-mell, helter-skelter, topsy-turvy……
it\’s a celebration of language quo language married to the texture of existence.\”
My brother, Dennis Barone,
is the author or editor of twenty-two books,
professor of English and director of the American Studies program at Saint Joseph College
and the former poet laureate of West Hartford, CT.
