Hot Popsicles Charles Harper Webb The University of Wisconsin Press Poetry Series, Ronald Wallace, Series Editor A man dressed in pajamas is arguing a case before a snowman. The lawyer (as he must be) speaks in a loud voice, striking what he hopes is a dramatic pose each time he makes an irrefutable point. The judge sits in his black robes, melting.—Excerpt from "Judge Frosty Presiding" A woman falls in love—literally—with a house; Werner Heisenberg confronts his own uncertainty; a rat (the rodent kind) runs for president; Hamlet has trouble with his prostate; Superman battles senility and more in this new poetry collection from the winner of the 1999 Felix Pollak Prize for poetry. Charles Harper Webb is professor of English at California State University, Long Beach, as well as a psychotherapist in private practice.
