Borrowing its title from an Ennio Morricone ditty in the spaghetti western Gunfight at Red Sands, Jennifer L. Knoxs A Gringo Like Me contains poems at once raucous and sexy, tender and high. In favorites such as Hot Ass Poem, Cruising for Prostitutes, and Chicken Bucket, Knoxs speakers appear ornery, hickish, undereducated, misogynist, or worse, but each quirky character manages to elucidate a truth were better off knowing, even if wed rather forget it. At other times, Knoxs lyrical I is downright pretty; in poems like A Common American Name and Freckles she charms. Knox has collected dramatic monologues, personal lyrics, and even plays together in a single energetic volume for a genuinely surprising debut.
