It’s worth less
than a sandwich-man
I say but I can
already see
that little Black
is the first of an army…
– Andrei Codrescu, “The American Dream”
Broadside of “The American Dream” by Andrei Codrescu
Listen to Andrei Codrescu read his work for the Poetry Center Reading Series:
Andrei Codrescu begins speaking at 7:00 minutes.
I dream of soft furry things with inward claws
lodged in my brain
who open when it rains.
– Andrei Codrescu, “The Best Side Of Me”
