The Price of Doing Business in Mexico

By Bobby Byrd

Book Overview

The Mexican Border stands at the soul's edge with a port-of-entry leading directly into Byrd's poems.

Byrd's poems open a strange door--Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene are spotted making love in downtown El Paso, a private detective goes south to Toluca to find a revolution in his heart, a sad-faced clown in Florsheim shoes lectures the poet on the mortality of his mother, and Dante and Virgil show up to explain the true meaning of North Dallas.
