“Toronto writer Alessandro Porco’s second book, Augustine in Carthage (ECW, 64 pages, $17) does not suffer from an excess of earnestness. Pun-mad, filled with gratuitous and funny allusions to low and high culture, frequently obscene, this is a book that suggests renaming the League of Canadian Poets’ Gerald Lampert Award for ‘80s porn star Ginger Lynn. Bob Alan Deal is a surprisingly affecting sonnet sequence about the lead guitarist of Motley Crue.”
