The Gospel According To Frank

Merging elements of Frank Sinatra's public persona with Biblical and mythological representations of divinity, the poems in The Gospel According to Frank weave an engaging and complex gospel narrating the life of an American icon. With wit and power, this sequence uses (and misuses) styles and forms from Greek mythology, the eighth-century Irish epic Tain Bo Cuailnge, the Welsh medieval tales of The Mabinogi, and the Old and New Testaments to construct a fresh portrait of The Chairman and the cosmos he still occupies.
