Ricky Ricardo Suites

In his first book since the novel Napoleon’s Retreat, and his first collection of poems in almost a decade, Robert Allen continues to dazzle with his astonishingly diverse work. Among other things, Ricky Ricardo Suites contains 46 new sections of the long poem The Encantadas, which Phil Hall called “…a wondrous poem: dense, lush, hypnotic.”

Reviews

“In his first poetry collection since Magellans Clouds, New and Selected Poems (1990, Vehicule Press, Signal Editions), Allen writes clear and provocative poems on a range of subjects, casually observing Errol Flynns cock, getting cable, conversations of what Al Purdy could get away with, Ricky Ricardo, and on the birth of western music.” — The Antigonish Review, 2002
