- Summary:
- Cutty, One Rock traces one young man's intellectual development in the company of a New Jersey family both cultivated and deranged. The book's final section, about August Kleinzahler's older brother, is, in the words of the San Francisco Chronicle, "incredible... Perhaps the best memoir to appear in a magazine in the past decade."
- This new edition includes a section on contemporary poetry: reminiscences of Allen Ginsberg and Thom Gunn, and Kleinzahler's now-famous attack on Garrison Keillor's Good Poems.
