Conventional Weapons is lyrical and dirty, sexy and dark--it is cul-de-sac life, viewed through a grimy ranch slider. These poems closely observe the beauty and depravity of human nature, revealing lives that are hard-bitten and sometimes tragic, but in Tracey Slaughter's hands, they become radiant.
