mashanocket: and other songs

In 1997, Peter McCann Ashton vociferously petitioned the permanent committee of drear elders to have the word 'lacuna' removed from the English language. Rebuffed and bitter, a fierce proponent of the Oxford comma and the two-space period, decades of silence followed. Now, at last, the self-publication of Mashanocket & Other Songs. A greatest hits collection of original hymns, jokes, and suicide notes. Poems of all shapes and sizes - but a lot of sonnets. A lot. No subject left unbruised, apple left unwormed. The complete works of the world's most obscure sit-down comedian who quit his day job long ago, for better, worse, or indifferent There was never any doubt. It was the always it was going to end this way.
