Great Balls of Fire
Poems by Ron Padgett

Ron Padgett’s sparkling gem of a collection receives new polish in this revised edition. Out of print for eighteen years, these poems, full of wit and a sense of the unexpected, are now ready for a new generation of poetry lovers. Old fans and new readers will be greeted by Padgett’s unique sense of reflective delight that charmed critics when Great Balls of Fire first appeared in 1969. With this revival, Coffee House Press is pleased to continue the small press tradition of keeping important books in print.
