Ron Cervero's Barbaric Yawpꀊ In a long tradition of "outside" poets, from Whitman's "barbaric
yawp" through Bukowski, comes Ron Cervero, who has crafted a volume
of short rough poems which primarily are written as responses to
daily occurrences, or, more often, outrages.The outrage is keenly
felt, andꀠMr. Cervero's responses are often bitter and sardonic.
Cervero claims not to have read Bukowski before writing this volume
and while comparisons, especially eternally being at odds with the
Establishment, are evident, these poems are as fragmentary and
episodic as, say, videotaping a hanging surreptitiously with a cell
phone. Still, they add to define the personality of the poet, whose
tattooed legs and濳orso are displayed on the cover and whose unique
view毪ecomes more clear烀ith each poem.
