Merging elements of Frank Sinatra's public persona with Biblical and mythological representations of divinity, the poems in this collection weave a complex and engaging gospel narrating the life of an American icon. With wit and power, this sequence uses (and misuses) styles and forms from Greek mythology, the eighth-century Irish epic Tain Bo Cuailnge, the Welsh medieval tales of The Mabinogi, and the Old and New Testaments to construct a fresh portrait of The Chairman and the cosmos he still occupies.

A series of 21 modern poems, forming a unified work. No inexact or excess words keep the lines from moving crisply and colorfully through a cast of characters as varied as Frank Sinatra, Houdini, John Glenn, and St. Peter. The writer imagines "outside the box," and deftly uses the particular to reach the universal. The images bring the reader to a level of insight beyond the poems themselves.
