Under the Influence
The gruff voice of Dave Church drives home a truth that street poetry is as modulated and full of nuance as anything from academe. The forty-odd poems in Under the Influence depict a - chosen - hard life, but that life includes sharp sensibility and wry humor; an aware eye and a good soul. Dave Church - cabdriver, loft-dweller, sometimes under the influence - continually reminds the reader that he always takes dignity and a curmudgeonly commonsense along for the ride.
