<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A collection of accessible, humorous poems about chain and fast food restaurants<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A charming and accessible collection of poems dedicated to one of the most American of inventions--fast food. </b></p><p><i>El Dorado Freddy's</i> may be the first book of fast-food poetry. In poems like "Olive Garden," "Culver's," "Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen," "Cracker Barrel," "Applebee's (after James Wright)," Caine--owner of the Raven Book Store in Lawrence, Kansas--"reviews" chain restaurants, bringing our attention to a slice of American life we often overlook, even though it's everywhere. Along the way, he touches on such topics as parenting, the Midwest, politics, and the pitfalls of nostalgia. Caine's wry, deceptively accomplished poems are paired with Tara Wray's color-drenched photos. The result is a literary yet goofy homage to American food and identity, set in a midwestern landscape dotted by the light of fast-food restaurants' glowing signs.</p><p>Perfect for those readers who love both poetry and Popeye's. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>You may look down your nose at fast food restaurants for any number of reasons, but you cannot deny their significance. ... <i>El Dorado Freddy's</i>, a collaboration by poet Danny Caine and photographer Tara Wray, gives these familiar outposts their complete attention. It is a splendid twofer that pairs two sequences by two artists in two different media on one theme and with one binding. ...Though this book actually left me craving fast food (something I haven't eaten in a long time), I didn't feel gross and bloated after devouring it. Instead, I went back for seconds, starting at the beginning and reading it again.--Dallas Crow, <i>Rain Taxi Review of Books</i><br>
