The frank, raw lyrics of Dana Goodyear’s second collection draw on the scenery of Los Angeles—the teenagers, vagrants, pornographers—and the beautiful decay that serves as an insistent reminder to them all. The poems are unsparing but tender, candid but sly, and open to the force of nature on an individual human life.

Reviews for The Oracle of Hollywood Boulevard: Poems
"Lush ... glittering... The reader [is] struck with appreciative awe." "Framed with sharp immediacy ... distilled to the core." "Among the finest young poets working in the Southland today." "Goodyear uses clipped lines and short stanzas to produce quick specters of breath ... each instance gauzy and glazed over, as if refracted through frosted glass."
